good design for life
"The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products we use every day affect our person and our well-being. But only well-executed objects can be beautiful."
Dieter Rams - celebrated German mid-20th century industrial designer
Snowhome is a design store in central York that remains as curious about the good things in the world around us as it has been since it first opened its doors in 2001. In a digital age we are fascinated that so many people are (like us) drawn to the calm simplicity of pen and paper - whether working from home (if only partially), capturing precious thoughts and memories in a wonderful variety of paper journal formats, letter writing or simply gifting a paper greetings card.
So welcome to the desk of your dreams and the home environment it sits in. Beyond beautiful pens, sublime papers and associated stationery you’ll find a carefully considered range of everyday carry, niche perfume and wearable accessories, coffee and treats, drink ware, and home accessories. All tour selections are design-led because without good design it would be a much poorer world.
Tom's Studio Pens and Inks
Beautiful crafted writing tools & stationery you'll look forward to using every day.
Discover the infinitely refillable award-winning (and rather lovely) Wren brush pen, the super versatile Lumos Duo and some truly super inks from Tom's Studio.
"Fab place run by fab people"
