Oliver Helfrich, a German designer and book editor working and living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, started a project called The Book Of… as a series of books to explore and elevate the aesthetic value of seemingly everyday materials such as paper. wood, glass and stone. The first book is focused on paper featuring some beautiful paper sculptures by Oliver Helfrich, photographed by Antje Peters, along with a series of essays by artists, architects and scientists, all of whom have unique approaches to paper – from adopting origami to fold space telescopes to creating earthquake-resistant cardboard architecture or using paper as a therapeutic tool.
The book will soon be available at Another Shop. Meanwhile visit ‘The Books Of’ for more information.

Our first collaboration is a fact! Steve Mono made a special edition of their Tony glasses case for Another Shop. Hand made in Spain, in a beautiful heavy weight calf leather, finished with ‘Steve Mono and Another’ branding inside.
Together with this the new issue of Inventory Magazine is available plus the beautiful Cooper Bell neck key strap by Royal Republiq.
And, as promised, we started to sell vintage. We start with a new old stock Boeing Carrera Sunglasses in mint condition. A must have to protect your eyes from the sun and snow blindness during your winter holidays.

We have just updated Another Shop with some very good products. The long awaited natural iPhone cases and a beautiful leather compact camera strap both by the Japanese Roberu Leather Factory. And The Royal Treatment Bohica Cassette, the essential shoe care kit for everybody who loves their handmade leather shoes. Enjoy!

Finally I found the time to update Another Shop. With the help of Stuart Hobday (and Big Cartel) we made a new shop, with more products, better service and the ability to show more pictures per product. Together with the products we already featured we now sell a hand screen printed Tote bag designed by Timo Demollin for Anothercompany, the lovely ACL & Co. Motel Keychains, Le Labo vintage candles and beautiful leather bi-fold wallets and card holders by Maxx & Unicorn. And in the coming weeks there will be more. The Kaweco pen sets and the new natural leather Roberu iPhone cases will be (back) in stock.

My former intern Timo Demollin designed and hand screen printed a series of 4 different heavy weight cotton totes, exclusive for Another Shop. The bags are made in a limited edition of 10, all numbered, all printed on both sides and now available in the new Another Shop.
Above the most colorful one of the series: AOC – AnOtherCompany. Timo used the old VOC logo and turned up side down, together with the Dutch flag – hand dyed – and the roman numerals MDCII -1602 – the date the VOC was established.
A nice bag to cary your magazine’s, iPad and others with you on your way to the beach, available at Another Shop.

I am very proud to carry Ursa the Bear by David Weeks in Anothershop. My little son instantly fell in love with this beautiful sustainably harvested beech wood bear of more than 34 cm high (in standing position). He started to growl and made ominous arm moves, haha! Thank you Areaware for the possibility to sell Ursa here in Europe!

This would definitely be my favorite toy when I was 8. ‘PlayShapes by Miller Goodman is a modular set of 74 geometric wooden shapes which can be endlessly arranged or stacked to produce hundreds of 3D creations. The smooth shapes, with flashes of colour are pleasingly crafted in rubberwood which can also be used as drawing templates. The intrinsic simplicity of the product and clarity of design, freely allows children and adults alike to fully engage in the wonderment and joy of the creative process.
The set of shapes come in a box along with a printed, unbleached cotton drawstring bag and a set of illustrations.’
And we are very proud to announce the PlayShapes are now available at Anothershop! Start playing >
