Branded Christmas Gift Guides
Throughout December I created a series of ART-inspired gift guides to be shared across The Art Büro social channels and in the brand’s weekly email newsletter during the holiday period.
I researched the best big and small art-themed gifts, artsy stocking fillers and the perfect reading list for over the holidays, creating visuals and eye-catching copy to position the brand as the cool, friendly, go-to space for art aficionados in Barcelona.
The Gift Guide For Art Lovers (Part I)
1. Alexandria Coe x Evermore London Candle ft. the artists’ iconic nude figures.
2. Zara Home have launched a range of beautifully designed art supplies. Our favourites from the collection include this wooden palette, linen brush cover and minimalist easel that wouldn’t look out of place in a chic professional studio.
3. Art Dealer Cashmere Jumper by Bella Freud
4. Austin Austin Art Inspired Organic Skincare
5. Art Cushion by Bella Freud

The Best Books To Gift An Art Lover
Our favourite artists’ biographies and art history related books to read over the holidays include Broad Strokes: 15 Women Who Made Art and Made History (in That Order), A Year In The Art World and Ninth Street Women.
Some of our most coveted coffee table books right now include Art = (covering 6,000 years of art history through 800 unique artworks) and 100 Sculptors of Tomorrow for scoping out impressive up and coming sculpture and 3D artists. We also loved reading The Shift: Art and the Rise to Power of Contemporary Collectors by Marta Gnyp this Autumn. Any one of these brilliant books would make the perfect gift this Christmas.
