uimi.... oh wow!

So I have discovered this gorgeous brand while floating around online... uimi how did I not know about them? The colours, the materials are all so amazing. Here are some great Summer scarves, (see more here) but there are also Winter ones, and beautiful things for babies and kids and blankets for the home. What a great find at the end of the working week. Happy now. xx

new posters... modern aussie aminals

A little sneak peak at our new poster range. They are coming.... now that we have our lovely uncoated paper sorted, they are being printed as we speak. hooray. These little beauties by Nick, are part of a new set of Australian Animal posters. A new spin on our national treasures, and they work nicely with a modern interior.
More sneaky peaks soon.... alphabets, and more animals.  And they will all be for sale on our site in the next few weeks. (hopefully) Things can take longer than we hope sometimes.  fingers crossed. xx

Colour Heaven... The Pantone Hotel

Colour. It's such a huge part of every designers day (and life). And Pantone is king of colour. I stumbled across this little gem on FB the other day and thought, hmmm, it deserves further investigation. You will find this stunningly designed hotel by Michel Penneman and Oliver Hannaert, in Brussels. With a canvas on white, the colours POP.  Yes there is a Pantone Hotel. Brilliant, brilliant idea. Who would ever think to do this, and yet now that you see it, well why wouldn't you? Inspired,  oh I think so.
