Snowhome
Contemporary stationery and lifestyle shop offering good design for life.
Snowhome is an independent stationery and lifestyle shop in York inspired by a passion for authentic design and beautiful things that fit with contemporary, stylish living.
We remain as curious about the good things in the world around us as we have been since we first opened our doors in 2001. In a digital age we are fascinated that so many people are (like us) are drawn to the calm simplicity of pen and paper- whether working from home, capturing precious thoughts and memories in a wonderful variety of paper journal formats, letter writing or writing a greetings card.
So we welcome you to our concept store: the desk of your dreams and the home environment it sits in. Beyond beautiful pens and sublime papers and books you’ll find a genderless collection of niche perfume, coffee and sweet treats, drink ware, everyday carry and home accessories. All these selections are guided by the best of principles of design splendidly encapsulated by Dieter Rams:
"The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products we use every day affect our person and our well-being. But only well-executed objects can be beautiful." Dieter Rams (influential mid-century industrial designer)
Snowhome: inspiring, independent and offering good design for life since 2001
“We believe that when designed well, the objects we choose can bring not just function and beauty but also build joy into the everyday moments of life.”
