Shama Johns is a London-based artist whose work celebrates the joy of connection, the beauty of shared moments, and the tables where they unfold. With a deep love for food and the rituals that gather us, Shama paints intimate still life scenes that honour the everyday, from breakfast scenes to friends gathering over wine and small plates. Working mainly in oils from her cosy garden shed studio, she is a self-taught painter with a warm, human approach. Her work is both heartfelt and evocative, capturing the little things that bring people together.

Dan Crow, CEO, on Forest Gate & Leytonstone
I've lived in E7 for coming up on eight years, pretty much bang on the border of Forest Gate and Leytonstone, which is my excuse for being greedy and doing both. When I moved here, before the Elizabeth line, there was nothing. Now we have some great pubs, a wine bar that does coffee and bakes in the morning, and Tuesday night jazz above a social club.
The community and the green space were always here, and the housing stock is lovely, for the most part. I can walk or run for hours on Wanstead Flats without seeing a road.
Everything below are places I actually go.

My Neighbourhood with Glassette CEO Dan Crow

Eleanor is Glassette's Buying and Brand Acquisition Manager - the person who sources new homeware and lifestyle brands for the platform, shapes the ranges, and spots what's worth paying attention to before most people have clocked it. Every month, she shares the products she can't stop thinking about, the trends quietly moving into interiors, and honest recommendations she'd genuinely spend her own money on.

September Product Diaries

This month, Art Kiosk becomes something closer to a monthly long-form editorial. Original art and prints from artists we rate - we've worked out the frames, decided where each one earns its wall, and picked out what's trending in the art world right now.
There's a mini interview with one artist each month too. This time it's Molly Kayll, on painting to a 90s romcom and the one piece she'll never sell.
Original art, considered properly.

Art Kiosk July

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

Gallery walls have moved on from rigid grids and perfectly matched frames. The most interesting ones mix artwork, objects and unexpected pieces to create something layered and expressive. We’ve pulled together five creative ideas for building a gallery wall that feels considered and full of character.

Start a Gallery Wall

What’s your art taste? Not the one you say in galleries. The real one.
Maybe you’re quietly accumulating meaning. Maybe you want to touch every surface. Maybe film, food, fashion and art all blur into one big reference board in your head.
Are you driven by nostalgia, or by the thrill of something that makes people pause?
Do you place pieces instinctively, or does every work have to earn its wall?
Some people collect art. Some people build a point of view.
Which one are you?
Take the quiz!

What's your art taste?

For the one who treasures their daily coffee ritual - we’ve gathered a few pieces to make those moments even better. Think the MoMA x Bodum cafetière to add joyful morning colour to their routine, single origin coffee from much-loved Ozone blends, or a print from Beatriz Art or Shama Johns Art to frame the small moment they look forward to most. Thoughtful, easy pieces for someone who loves the simple, steady parts of the day and finds comfort in the everyday.
