Blog: Do Wu See What I See?

JULY 26TH, 2010 Do Wu See What I See? Forget Bette Davis eyes, we want Garbo’s sketched by Cecil Beaton. And we get them at Örling & Wu. The new Gastown décor store stocks the award-winning fabric and wallpaper collection made from Cecil sketches which includes “Garbo’s Eye.” The shop, run by a design savvy pair who met at London's Central Saint Martins, features those peepers on a pendant light, but you could have yours as custom-order curtains. There were other gorgeous goods that caught our eye, like a salvaged wood picnic-style table from Arxe ($4,800), a linen-coloured Carl Malmsten samsas sofa ($6,800) and a red and white vase made the old way by Dutch masters Royal Tichelaar Makkum ($619). We see redecorating in our future. Örling & Wu, 28 Water St., Vancouver, 604-568-6718, www.orlingandwu.com
