Tiny Worlds 2022

A new collection of drawings by Jac Scott has launched this spring. Discover Tiny Worlds at https://www.utopiatheunexpectedgallery.co.uk/collections/aviary-limited-edition-print-collection

November 2019 – Utopia: The Unexpected Gallery is moving to new and bigger premises in Holt, Norfolk.

After 5 years of building a unique business at Creake Abbey, it was time for expansion and relocation. Hence, from mid November, the high street in this pretty Georgian town will have a new independent retailer. Based in a listed Victorian shop, with its stunning facade: ornate cast iron windows and creative brickwork, Utopia will bring a wealth of design and creation to Holt.

The expanded site will enable Utopia’s key architects, Jac Scott and Michael Slaney, to showcase more of their designs.

Expect more:

  • original and limited edition fine art from Jac Scott
  • exciting and unique lamps and lights to make interesting, stylish statements
  • restored coveted antiques and utopiaised finds
  • decorative interior ideas

2019 – Utopia: The Unexpected Gallery continues to prosper with an international clientele and its unique offer for lighting, fine art and interiors, that is a leap away from the high street, and yet maintains its core values: expert design, skilled local craftsmanship, British quality and sustainable, eco-friendly manufacture. https://www.utopiatheunexpectedgallery.co.uk/
