> Woodland Friends WallScene wallpaper

Here are some lovely images of our Woodland Friends WallScene wallpaper in a bedroom taken from our Polish retailer, Zonazielona's facebook page. Love that they have Junior Panton chairs and the Elephant stool too - exactly our design ethos.

> thinking of spring!

What is happening to our spring, or rather, when will it arrive? We've had a hard winter, more snow then I can ever remember (it's snowing outside the studio again now) and there's more to come over the Easter weekend too. I love snow and get all excited about it... but no more please!

I'm looking forward to sunny, warmer days. Seeing golden daffodils and the glorious yellow tones in the new spring growth on the trees and hedgerows. And colour in the garden, and butterflies and bees.

Our "Dragonflies and Cowparsley" mural in zingy lime green captures the essence of spring perfectly for me. Vibrant happy colours with a lovely warm glow.

> NEW Wallpaper - concept design

Over the last few weeks, we've been concepting and designing a whole new range of products in the studio, with a more graphic led approach. We'll be showing you some mood boards and images for the new line and new look next week - designs with typography, some industrial elements, greys and pop colours with neon yellows and pinks!  Very pleased with it we are too! 

We've been working on this wallpaper concept which is a follow on from our new "Secret World" wallpaper.  We're writing a crazy little poem to fit the scene, "Finding the Gunnadoo"... inspired by our daughter and the nonsensical rhymes we make up together. And the Gunnadoo, our mythical made up creature, will be hidden within the design!

Let us know what you think. It will be finished and available from our webshop next week.

Have a fab weekend.

> Our Colliss and Quinton interior products


Well, we're are almost there with our Colliss & Quinton webshop design and launch... hey ho, these things take SOOOO much longer than you think!! But, here's a taster of some of the designs we have been working on.

Our "Bollocks to" range of art posters (for grown ups!) are black and very graphic! We're so sick to death of the whole "Keep Calm" vibe - these are our cheeky but rebellious rebuke. Our black, grey and acid yellow cushions look fab individually, in sets or as a whole mixed bag.

Lots more coming - bespoke industrial mirrors, graphic wallpapers, lighting and accessories!

For orders, please call the studio until the webshop is open: 01993 898834.

> Bespoke "Space" mural

We recently completed a "Space" themed mural for a client in NYC, the second design she has commissioned from us. For the focal wall of her new son's bedroom, she wanted a design that would not date, be inspirational for at least the next 5 years and feature a predominately blue palette of colours. There's now not a lot we don't know about black holes, Van Allen belts and deep space. We added the iconic statement from Neil Armstrong to the design to give it some real resonance.

This was a fantastic transatlantic project to work on, and all carried out by phone and email. Our client was absolutely lovely to work with and we even shared the same taste in Oeuf NYC furniture and fittings.

> Secret World - new mural

Here's our Secret World mural wallcovering... and we love it. Inspired by the countryside and the flora and fauna we see every day, but with our dazzling range of pop colours and crazy scale. My favourite bit is the pink flamingo on the cowparsley flower head.

This will be uploaded to our shop tomorrow.  Hope you like it!
