Saturdays is a surfer concept store down a small, cobblestone street in New York’s Soho. There is an espresso bar serving their own blend of La Colombe coffee and out back is a fully planted yard acting as a wood-decked sanctuary from the streets.

The Rabbit Hole is a pretty genius combination of cosy coffee house and creative work area. The sun-drenched space in Brisbane’s West End is full of long desks, bookshelves filled with creative mags and coffee table books, computers, projectors – even a boardroom- all there to help you get on with a project without confining yourself to a home, office or (worse) dorm. Add to that a never-ending supply of coffee and grazing snacks and you have yourself the perfect place to get your work done.

Hong Kong-based artist Emily Eldridge is probably best known for her installation projects (including with department store giant Lane Crawford) but she also makes these sweet sculptures out of found objects including dustpans, toilet brushes and stationary folders. Cute and quirky, just like the designer herself.
