Shopping
Orling & Wu
June 7, 2011
Orling and Wu could have been just another thoughtfully curated (read: sparsely inventoried) Gastown store. Though this little homewares shop may look and feel gallery-like with its rare finds and elegant pieces, it runs more friendly in vibe. The owners met in England while attending design school, so the fresh mix of contemporary, vintage, and classic pieces for sale reflect a European sensibility: whether it’s the Nosey Parker greeting cards handmade in the U.K. with Liberty House fabric ($7.60) or the Service tea set designed by Jurgen Bey for Royal Tichelaar Makkum, appointed by the Dutch Royal Family (teapot $705)—each piece is a tiny treasure.
