> Grand Designs mural

Saw a repeat of Grand Designs from 2008 the other evening... and a flash of a mural we did for The Cheltenham House.

Zoe and Tim Bawtree, who designed an underground house, wanted a map mural with a difference for their Ferrari mad 8 year old son. We added dinosaurs, chinook helicopters, iconic buildings, skateboarders and, the Ferrari!

> Staffordshire blue and white Big Ben


We thought you might like to see a rather lovely new addition to our Big Ben range. Inspired by David's Staffordshire pottery roots, we have developed a fantastic blue and white pattern which will be used across a new range of wallcoverings, cushions and, the Big Ben! It looks absolutely fabulous! 

This will be in the studio next week and will be available from our Colliss & Quinton company very soon.

> 'Pop' goes a primary school... in India

Check out this amazing new primary school in Bangalore, India - it's like nothing you've seen before. The architects, Cadence, designed the school with bags of pop colour, style and passion to excite a whole generation of little students.

The facade with it's decorative theme of letters form the windows, with stripes and neon shades providing a fabulous hit of energetic colour. Sharp angular stair wells contrast with fluid, curvacious walls and shelves. There are little nooks and corners for children to hide in, seating on all floors to chill out and chat and peep holes in all the doors.

This is what will inspire and guide the next generation to be brave and dare to be a little bit different!
