We are very humbled with the many queries we receive during the year for our tote bags. Once a year, we give them away (free with every purchase, as long as stock lasts). Well, they are here, this year with a beautiful light blue color, so be sure to come by!

GIGI BURN FOR TOWNHOUSE – MAKING OF

We are very excited about the newest addition to the Townhouse Art Edition. Inspired by the Marx Brother’s movies the extremely talented and local artist Mr. Burn has chosen a quote from Groucho Marx and finely captured his humor with an illustration of a dachshund. Click here (or visit http://vimeo.com/55858972) to view a short making-of or here to order online and for more information.

VALENTINE GIFT IDEAS

CHRISTMAS RULES

We have a soft spot for Christmas songs and like every year we would like to share some of our favorite records with you (all of which are now available at Townhouse 1 to purchase). We recommend a glass of Glühwein and some Swiss Mailänderli cookies while browsing through some selected songs from the new CDs below.

1. Vince Guaraldi Trio – A Charlie Brown Christmas: Looks can be deceptive and this is in our opinion one of the best jazz albums for Christmas (CHF 29.90)
2. Diana Krall – Christmas Songs featuring the Clayton / Hamilton Jazz Orchestra: If you are looking for an uplifting interpretation of seasonal favourites from the great American Songbook, this is the record (CHF 29.90)
3. Tracey Thorn – Tinsel and Lights: Thorn was well known in the 80’s and is finally back with very delicate interpretations of future Christmas standards by the likes of Dolly Parton and the White Stripes (CHF 24.90)
4. Sufjan Stevens – Silver and Gold: If anyone is really serious about Christmas then it is this renowned alternative and electronic artist. A full box set with 5 (!) CDs, stickers, posters booklets etc. will deliver an instance rush of festive extravaganza (CHF 49.90)

TOWNHOUSE X EDITION POPULAIRE KETCH-UP

When teaming up with Edition Populaire for the new shop at Geroldsstrasse we were soon brainstorming about possibilities for a first co-produced product. A local and organic ketchup was something we had in mind for quite a while and now seemed like the perfect opportunity. We teamed up with experts, first recipes were created and complemented with a fun evening of fries, sausages and ketchup tasting until the perfect ingredients were matched. Our Ketch-Up is produced in Zurich, using only the finest, organic and local ingredients. The idea was to create something pure in regard to taste by using only essential ingredients (tomatoes, apple vinegar, salt, sugar-beet sirup) and to find the perfect balance between sweet and sour. The result is a healthy, delicious and unique Ketch-Up, giving burgers et al. a whole new food experience. CHF 12.
