Selfridges' Wonderful Wonder Room

Just where do you buy the person who has everything something wonderful? Maybe you'll find it at the Wonder Room, but of course, may sure you line your pockets will before you go shopping there. Luxe is on the list - major luck according to the press release I got:

This month, Selfridges opened The Wonder Room at its Oxford Street store, a new 19,000 square-foot space dedicated to luxury items, fine jewelry, watches, wine and other precious gifts. The Wonder Room is a luxury emporium with the buzz of the bazaar, offering customers a unique mix of products in an imaginative setting.

Anchoring the space are world class luxury brands - including Hermes, Chrome Hearts, Tiffany & Co and Bulgari - housed in an "arcade" of boutiques around the perimeter of the room. Alongside, The Concept Store takes inspiration from the tradition of the Wunderkammer or "Cabinet of Curiosities" with constantly updated stock showcasing all that is new, special or intriguing - from the latest technology must-haves to cult books to exclusive gifts.

Wonder Room Products

In addition to gorgeous products that each of the brands will stock, there will also be individual items that are unique and out-of-the-ordinary, to bring the concept of wonder to life. For example, Hermes has created a hand-crafted winged saddle inspired by their celestial namesake, crafted from some of the World's finest skins; while rock n' roll jeweler, Chrome Hearts, a favorite among Hollywood and music royalty, has elevated the everyday sink plunger by adorning it with brilliant diamonds.
