Pylones

Home design never looked so, well, un-French. This novelty and design shop has everything you could want for your home, but with a twist. That dustpan is actually in the shape of a woman in a ball gown. Those salad tongs are actually in the shape of a swimmer. And who would have thought to transform soccer players from a foosball table into pizza cutters? It’s all so delightfully kitsch, and the passport holders, pens and berets are also not so over-the-top that only children can enjoy them. With several shops all over the city, it’s an easy and affordable place to pick up a few novelty items or a new pair of duck-shaped scissors to make cutting paper just that much more exciting.

Other branches available. Check the website for more information.
