The Agoraphobic Traveller
I'm sharing my current obsession, a feed on Instagram that I am in love with. It's by a day called Jacqui Kenny whose account name is The Agoraphobic Traveller. She has lived with severe anxiety for over 20years and was diagnosed with agoraphobia, a fear of being in public open spaces or crowded places.....
Brutalist Architecture
Brutalist buildings tend to create a love or hate reaction. I’m in the love camp and have been inspired by this modernist style since university after writing an essay on Le Corbusier’s influential Unité d’Habitation, a tower block that reimagined housing for the 1950’s as a ‘machine for living in’.....
Green spaces in tiny places
If you’re a frustrated gardener flicking through Pinterest looking at amazing green spaces but don't have any outdoor space of your own, fear not! There are many ways to create your own oasis in the limited space you have. Here are some ideas for creating green spaces in tiny places.....
Books about London
We've just finished designing our mammoth panoramic River Map of the London's Riverside which illustrates over 100 buildings, plotting a short history and heritage of each one. By building number 30 we did question if it was a sensible project but many months later it's made me love the city even more as I've learned so much about history of the River Thames, architecture and culture dating right back to Roman times....
An Architectural Walk by London’s Riverside
Part One: Walk along the South Bank, Tower Bridge to Southwark Bridge. This year we started work on mapping out and illustrating the abundance of architecture along London’s riverside from Tower Bridge to the Houses of Parliament. It’s an idea I’d had for a while, as I feel the River Thames is very much the heart and soul of the city. I cross Waterloo Bridge every day and never tire of the view....
Bauhaus Design Stencil
Meet our new Bauhaus Design Stencil. Produced in a thick matt brass, the drawing template depicts the iconic styles from the Bauhaus movement; simply forms, geometric abstraction and balanced proportions. Like many design students, I remember learning of the Bauhaus movement and being inspired.....
How to care for your Houseplants
Like many people, I adore plants, quite simply because green has always been my favourite colour and plants can totally change the feel of a room. Unfortunately I have struggled to keep many a house plant happy - big, well established Monstera’s have turned brown within weeks and the oh-so-easy-to-keep peace lily was drooping after days......
Bespoke products for Science Museum
We've recently completed a commission for the Science Museum to develop three exclusive products for their range. Working with with sheet metal we produced a set of DIY polyhedra decorations, an architectural model kit of the museum housing some of their incredible designs in their collection.....
Custom Growing Kits
As part of our bespoke service we offer our mini garden growing kits for customisation which are a great way to promote a special event. We can help design a fully customised pop-up card which is fully branded with bespoke artwork logos or any brand requirements.
Bespoke Bookmark for Somerset House
We're delighted to have produced this exclusive bookmark for Somerset House. It was amazing to learn the rich history of the site of Somerset House which dates back to 1547. Over the years the space has been redeveloped, demolished and reconstructed by a number of leading British architects.....
Mini Eric - Commission
Meet mini Eric! A little something we designed for the Science Museum to help with a Kickstarter campaign to rebuild Eric who was the first UK robot originally built in 1928. The campaign was a huge success and Eric, along with fellow robot designs feature in a great exhibition at Science Museum until September 3rd 2017.
Exclusive Gift Range for Historic Scotland
We've recently worked on a great project with Historic Scotland to design and produce a range of exclusive gifts for their museum shops. The brief was to create a set of Scottish themed bookmarks, a Celtic inspired product and an exclusive souvenir for Edinburgh Castle.
Bespoke Model House
A little while ago we were commissioned by a top furniture design company in Austrailia to produce a contemporary model house which would be gifted to their clients. This was an exciting project for us as it was something a little more unusual and tested our problem solving and model making skills, resulting in something truly unique.
Flying Scotsman Commission
Find out about our latest commission with the Science Museum to create range of gifts to celebrate the return of Flying Scotsman, Britain's iconic steam locomotive. Like London buses, the commissions we undertake seem to come all at once so it's been all hands on deck the last few months! Finally we can show you the results of this project which has been a sellout.
Customised Bookmarks
Looking for a unique customised design? Alongside creating our own designs, we work with clients and customers around the world to create personalised products, often to give as unique gifts, as promotional merchandise or send as event invitations. Over the years, our bespoke bookmark sets have been a favourite option......
