Paul Smith loves our new Barber Osgerby book!

And you will too! We celebrated its launch last night at Sir Paul's No.9 Albemarle Street store in Mayfair

When one of the best designers in the world throws a party to celebrate the launch of your new book you know you’re doing something right. That's how it was last night at Paul Smith No.9 Albemarle Street in Mayfair, London when Sir Paul Smith threw a cocktail party to celebrate the publication of Barber, Osgerby Projects, our new book with the design duo behind the Olympic torch, the two pound coin and countless furniture and product designs for Vitra, Knoll and others.
