Nestled on a corner of this leafy London village, Cubitts Hampstead celebrates the artistic history of this liberal enclave. Its interior is a homage to the modernists who called Hampstead home in the twentieth century, including Barbara Hepworth, Piet Mondrian, and Henry Moore.
Honey-stained oak wood panelling draws on the designs of Alvar Aalto, and play on the building’s former incarnation as A.D. Walker, tobacconists. They sit above a rich quarry of tiles inspired by Le Corbusier’s Maison de la Roche. Large windows allow the sunlight to flood the shop floor, bouncing off its wooden features.
