Wood You?
18 Furniture & Accessories Shop
Your horoscope says ‘do one good thing today’.
Which is why you need to head to 18.
Specialising in chunky wooden furniture, it’s like a treasure chest for those seeking unique curiosity items for home and garden. Pick up an African style rough wood stool, or a durable bench carved out of a single piece of tree trunk.
In the shop, quirky accessories like a kid’s tricicle sit side by side with giant mirrors, iron armadas and stone candlebras. (They take private commissions too). Other eye-catching items on display are eclectic objects like statues—both wood and stone—and funky furnishings like antique toy cars.
Speaking of which, 18’s piece de resistence has got to be its collection of car mascots. Made of solid cast iron, they beat anything else hands down as a gift for a car enthusiast. Choose a leaping panther, a pigeon, or a jester (a bit scary, but still fun) to adorn your car’s hood.
So that everyone knows next time you arrive in ‘da hood’.
