Bond Street™ No.219 at 94 New Bond Street

Mylands is delighted for its colours to feature across Shapero Rare Books' new flagship location. These colours act as the blank canvas to tell the stories of the rare books and art collections housed by Shapero Rare Books. Interior designer, Malcolm Winyward led the design team and curated the colours chosen for this project. He chose from Mylands' iconic Colours of London collection, a selection of 120 colourways inspired by the eclectic city, housing shades inspired by notable streets and landmarks. 

Woodwork in Bond Street™ No.219; Walls in Hawkesmoor™ No.112; Windowframes in Holland Park™ No.5

This flagship houses the company's headquarters, bookshop and galleries to best showcase their world of rare books and art in the heart of London's Mayfair. Visitors can discover a world of literary treasures, some of the most magnificent natural history books, accounts of daring voyages around the world, guide books and travel photography, manuscripts ranging from early Islamic works to Modern typescripts, and artworks for all tastes and interests.

Bring these colours into your own interior projects. Colour highlights from the project include:

Bond Street™ No.219 - from Mylands' own archive, this colour was originally inspired by a property on Bond Street. A deep dark blue that creates a commanding yet tranquil atmosphere. The perfect shade to complement Shapero Rare Book's move to the iconic street.  

Hawksmoor™ No.112 - a subtle soft silver blue that pairs perfectly with Bond Street™ No.219 in presenting a calming presence. It is a cool tone that allows it to be an alternative to white or off-white.  
 
Holland Park™ No.5 - this shade first featured in a period home located in its namesake. Soft in appearance with a touch of warmth from undertones of yellow, it is a versatile shade that is not overpowering yet adds a sunny disposition. 

Museum™ No.151 - inspired by Victorian-era museums and galleries, it is an ashy blue-green that lends itself well to adding a glimpse of colour to interiors. Providing a peaceful presence, it does a wonderful job of offsetting brighter colours. 

"At a time when many businesses are moving online or away from shops into offices, I believe it is important to keep a strong presence in the heart of London. Our customers are both local and international collectors and they still love to come into the shop and talk to us about what they are searching for to grow their collections. Even more importantly though, we regularly attract new customers and to them location is key. London continues to maintain its position in the international rare books and art world and as such we have to show that we are open for business." - Bernard Shapero, Founder of Shapero Rare Books on the opening of the new flagship space.

"Having specified Mylands paints at the previous Shapero Bond Street premises, I wanted to use colours that give a contemporary feel but work as a good backdrop for a more traditional setting. I particularly like Bond Street by Mylands, which we’ve used throughout the building, as the artworks and books look especially good against it. Bond Street for the only bookshop on Bond Street." – Malcolm Winyard, Interior Architect on his colour choices
