Forget festive songs on the radio and mince pies on the shelves, we know Christmas is coming when Studio Voltaire announces the return of its festive pop-up.
This year, No.9 Cork Street will play host to House of Voltaire’s annual shop (27 November – 19 December 2026), uniting over 150 artworks, limited-edition prints, clothes, homeware and accessories, making it the ultimate gift stop for anyone with even a passing interest in art and culture.
Expect cheeky T-shirts from Tom of Finland and cashmere blankets by Rose Wylie, prints by Rachel Jones and 2025 Turner Prize winner Nnena Kalu and lithographs by Chantal Joffe. A sequined leopard-print bag by Ashish is particularly covetable, as are Ella Kruglyanskaya’s merino wool scarves, while a Beryl Cook rug and a Sarah Lucas Tit Brick towel are great homeware options.
Personally, we have our eye on the artist-designed T-shirts from Jeremy Deller, Mark Leckey, France-Lise McGurn and Dean Sameshima. After stocking fillers? Tom of Finland Christmas baubles, Jake Grewal embroidered socks and artist tea towels are priced from £7.
Since its opening in 2010, House of Voltaire has created a quirky, art-infused style of shopping that pays homage to Keith Haring’s Pop Shop and the Bloomsbury Group’s Omega Workshops. It’s a registered charity and all proceeds from the pop-up, supported this year by Bicester Village, go towards its artistic and community programme.
All works will be available in-store at House of Voltaire at No. 9 Cork Street, from 27 November – 19 December 2026, Tuesday – Saturday, 10 am – 6pm and via houseofvoltaire.org
