The Southbank Centre Shop in London has installed a giant Advent calendar designed by Ffion Harman, who has filled the shop's 7m window with house-shaped packing crates covered with patchworks of bright, patterned fabric.
Starting on Decmber 1st, the numbered houses will be opened one-by-one each day to reveal a special artwork or gift idea hidden inside.
"I love advent calendars, I like the way the excitement builds throughout December, so I wanted to use that excitement combined with lots of colours, prints and clean shapes to create a memorable display," said Harman.
The installation will remain in place until December 31st. Harman also designed the 2012 Christmas window of London shop and craft cafe, Drink Shop Do.
