The best independent bookshops aren’t necessarily the ones with the most books. They’re the ones with a strong sense of what belongs on the shelves, whether that means rare editions, old photography books, small-run magazines or a love of one particular kind of literature. We’ve picked a few with particularly good selections, in some very good buildings, from Rome to Tokyo.

The World's Best Independent Bookshops

We’re fascinated by the curious ritual of reading, and how carving out time and space for it can become an anchor, especially in January. We spent five minutes with Danielle, founder of Lala Books, the joyfully casual independent bookshop in Camberwell that feels more like a friend’s brilliantly chaotic home library than a traditional store. Guided by instinct and a love of the unexpected, Danielle shares what customers are craving right now (shorter novels with bite, humour, and no grimness), her sacred(ish) reading habits, and the books she can’t stop recommending.

Gifting is one of those things everyone wants to do well and almost no one has time to think about properly. The Glassette Gift List is here to do the thinking for you - one considered edit a month, built around the moments that actually matter.
No endless scrolling. No panic buying. Just the right things, for the right people, at the right time.

A kitchen reset rarely starts with a moodboard. It starts with a quiet irritation: the drawer that never shuts properly, the mug you don’t actually like drinking from, the counter that somehow feels busy even when it’s clean. The kitchen is the most used room in the house - and often the least thoughtfully edited.
The Glassette kitchen reset isn’t about a full renovation or chasing trends. It’s about pausing, reassessing, and making small, tactile changes that improve how the room feels and functions. A better spatula. Fewer things on show. One beautiful object that earns its place. Done well, a kitchen reset makes everyday cooking calmer - and that calm adds up.

Design isn’t only about how things look - it’s about how they make us feel. The texture of ceramics, the weight of fabrics, the play of light across a room. Design for the Senses is an exploration of atmosphere and detail: pieces that engage touch, scent, and sound to create a home that feels alive. Considered pieces, made with integrity, that invite a slower, more tactile way of living.

Pistachio green is the interior design trend that whispers luxury while feeling effortlessly fresh. Softer than emerald, more intriguing than sage, this versatile shade slips easily into home décor without demanding attention - yet always draws the eye. Pair this soothing colour palette with warm neutrals for calm, or with chrome and glass for a sharper mood. Whether as a statement vase, lamp, or linen accent, pistachio interiors bring quiet vitality to any room.
