Sunday & Rex launched its second Pop-Up gallery in Portobello Rd on Friday 5th December, A Month of Sundays.
Located in an old Spanish Deli in the thick of the Portobello Market Sunday&Rex has transformed this disused space into a treasure trove of beautiful and affordable designed objects, art work and jewellery.
In this month’s range Sunday and Rex has introduced some new talents to their collection (soon to be uploaded to our website). The Heavy Light by Ben Huber and Decode, Liam Reeves’ unique and seductive glassware, the playful “Isnt That Lovely Series” by Stephen Johnson & Heather Gillespie’s extraordinary etched glass to name a few. The jewellery collection has also expanded with a comprehensive mens range of unique and affordable cufflinks by Hannah Lamb and Heather O’Connor.
Stephen Johnson “Wouldn’t it be lovely” series
The opening night on Friday was a great success with many braving the wintery evening to visit the temporary home. Come and visit Sunday&Rex at this new location.

Sunday&Rex is very excited by a new product by Claesson Koivisto Rune.
Claesson Koivisto Rune was founded in Stockholm in 1995 by Marten Claesson, Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune. They started as an architectural practice but soon became multidisciplinary, practicing architecture, interior design and product design. They were the first Swedish architects to exhibit at the prestigious Venice Architecture Biennale (2004), and have even created the set for a recent Kylie video. Their latest venture is a striking Jewellery series called ‘Eve’, formed by slicing an aluminium extrusion at different angles to create a range of bracelets. ‘Eve’ was commissioned by Stockholm gallery-owner, producer, and design historian Pascale-Cottard Olsen for her collection of design objects. Pascale’s aim is to present and promote the work of designers from Scandinavia and around the world, and she has helped to launch many young designers’ careers onto the international platform. Pascale recently won the 2008 ‘Design S’ award, Sweden’s highest accolade rewarding the best examples of Swedish design.
