Our Monthly What's On is a curated round-up of the exhibitions, restaurant openings, residencies and gigs we're making plans for. From gallery shows and design fairs to new tables worth booking, cultural moments to catch, and the under-the-radar events you'll wish you'd heard about sooner.
Think of it as your cultural compass for the month ahead: a considered edit of art, food, music and design, chosen to inspire weekends well spent.
October is the month London stops pacing itself. Frieze lands mid-month and drags the entire art world with it, the film festival runs for twelve days either side, and the big autumn exhibitions open in a cluster in the first fortnight. Book the things that need booking now, and leave a weekend free for the ones that don't.

What's On In October

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated Monday round-up of what we’re loving right now. From our favourite pieces on Glassette to a recipe, a watch, a read, a place to visit, a restaurant, and a gift worth bookmarking.
Each week, every member of the Glassette team shares their current favourites, whether that’s new arrivals, pieces we’ve spotted trending, or timeless finds we can’t stop thinking about. Think of it as a weekly dose of joy, discovery, and design inspiration, handpicked by the Glassette team.

Nice Things This Week

The second in our neighbourhood guide series - this time our Head of Creative Anna on Highbury.
​I walk everywhere. That's the whole thing, really. I'll add twenty minutes to a journey to avoid going underground, and in Highbury I almost never have to - the park, the high street, the good pubs, the shops I actually use, all of it is on foot from my front door.
It helps that there's genuinely somewhere to walk to. I'd say the best restaurants and pubs in London are within a mile of here, which I know sounds like the kind of thing everyone says about their own postcode, but I'll stand behind it.
Everything below are places I'd actually go.

My Neighbourhood with Glassette Head of Creative Anna Hale

In 1967, Anna Castelli Ferrieri designed a storage unit that didn't look like storage at all. Three stacking drums, a swivel base, doors that click shut with a satisfying half-turn. Kartell has barely touched the design since. Today it sits in bathrooms, nurseries and design museums with equal confidence. Below, we take a closer look at the story behind the Componibili, and the injection-moulding breakthrough that made it possible.

A good lamp does more work than people give it credit for. It sets the mood of a room before anything else in it does, softens a corner that would otherwise go unused, gives a house somewhere to look warm at 6pm in January. The nine brands in this edit all understand that a light fitting is sculpture with a job to do. Some lean into colour and whimsy, others into restraint and material. Here's who to know.

9 Lighting Brands to Follow

In 1956, Charles and Ray Eames unveiled a chair designed to feel like "a well-used first baseman's mitt". It took three years, seven prototypes and one abandoned plywood shell to get there. Since then, Herman Miller has produced it with remarkably few changes. Today, it's part of MoMA's permanent collection and has found its way into living rooms around the world. Below, we take a closer look at the story behind the iconic chair, and the thoughtful engineering that made it a design classic.

A pairing that earns its keep through proximity rather than contrast, apricot and coral work because neither is trying to win. Two tones from the same warm family, close enough to feel considered, different enough to hold interest - the blush of apricot softening the deeper flush of coral's red undertow.
Apricot does the quiet work. Diffused, flattering, the colour of late afternoon in a room with good light. Coral sharpens the mood without breaking it, adding just enough depth to stop the combination reading as sweet. Together they feel less like a pairing and more like a progression, a colour story that rewards looking twice.

Apricot & Coral

Summer 2026 is set to be a rollicking one for music, and album covers have been nothing to turn our noses up at either. From Charli xcx to Kelela and Madonna, we’re assured months of sound that is sonically riotous. But what would décor look like if left to the devices of the albums set to soundtrack the scorching weather? From vivid pastels to minimalist backdrops and landscapes with gritty edges, here’s décor fueled by this summer’s most anticipated releases – and the albums already setting the tone for the months ahead.

2026 albums as interiors

There's a particular kind of hotel that doesn't just give you somewhere to sleep, it gives you a colour palette you'll spend the rest of the trip trying to describe to people at home. The kind where the decision to paint every wall a specific shade of green, or to tile an entire courtyard in hand-painted blue and white, wasn't a branding exercise but something closer to a personal conviction. From a clifftop fortress in Calpe that Ricardo Bofill designed in shades of deep red and purple, to a Rajasthani haveli where every room is a different jewel tone, to a quietly extraordinary guesthouse on a car-free island off the coast of Senegal - this guide is for those who book by atmosphere as much as location. Eleven hotels where colour isn't decoration. It's the whole point.

Hotels if you love colour

Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design returns with a jam-packed programme of exhibitions, installations and brand takeovers across the city. It’s a lot to soak up, with more than 50 brands taking part this year – but we’ve got you covered.
From interactive installations to first-time collaborations, anniversary milestones and an oyster and champagne bar, here’s what you need to know ahead of the viral design week.

3 Days of Design

There's a reason we spend so much time rearranging, repainting and quietly obsessing over the right shade of green for a single wall. Home is personal - more personal, probably, than most of us admit. This month, we've been thinking about that: about the objects that make a space feel inhabited rather than staged, and about the particular satisfaction of a room that couldn't belong to anyone else.
Our pride homeware edit is built around that idea. Pieces with colour and character, chosen for the people who know exactly what they want and aren't especially interested in playing it safe. Mustard Made, who are donating 10% of sales to LGBTQ+ rights organisation Outright International throughout June, sit at the heart of it, alongside a handful of other finds that feel considered, a bit daring, and genuinely built to last.
No novelty product here. Just good things, for homes with a point of view.

Chelsea Flower Show is here. To celebrate, we've put together an edit that asks: what if flowers were interiors? The answer, it turns out, is rather beautiful.

Flowers as Interiors

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.

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a table spills over. Not messily, not by accident, but deliberately. Glasses catching the light, platters stacked high and passed without ceremony, chairs pulled in from other rooms because you needed them. This is XXL hosting: expansive, generous, and quietly theatrical in the best possible way.
It starts as a mindset shift. Forget tightly controlled dinner parties and overly curated place settings. This is about leaning into abundance - of food, of people, of texture, of noise. Long, meandering tables instead of perfectly appointed individual covers. Sharing plates over plated courses. A room that feels lived-in and evolving rather than dressed for a shoot.

XXL Hosting

A no-booze bar cart is a good excuse to rethink the drinks trolley, starting with what sits on it rather than what's usually poured from it. Glassware, trays and carafes have just as much to contribute as the drinks themselves, and alcohol-free options are worth giving a little space of their own. Here's how to get the set-up right, from choosing the cart to the glasses and bottles that make the cut.
