home: featured [ Seventy Tree ]

Seventy Tree are a husband and wife team based in Devon creating beautiful prints and homewares with a ethical and environmental approach. They create with recycled materials and vegetable inks both with their products and packaging.

They ‘create fun and quirky prints, posters and other bits and pieces to make you smile!’ and their ‘playfulness is inspired by the natural world and the magic of childhood‘.

In addition to their own designs they stock some lovely other brands that sit along side their creative style including Scout Editions and Liekeland.

Their range includes prints, trays, coasters, cushions and cards.

home: featured [ Argos ]

On trend, on your high street and on your budget: these are the three things that are great to hear when shopping for all things interiors.

Unexpectedly we stumble upon browsing Argos and find numerous lovable homewares and furniture that tick many boxes including amazing prices.

When we just focused on grey – our beloved colour of the year – we found many delights for the home (see picture) from lamps at only £24.99 to huge rugs at under £125! Argos have great brands under their belt, including Habitat, but their own designs are up there at the top with being cool and on trend.

Our top picks after lighting and rugs include throws, dining sets and cushions!

home: featured [ Dorothy ]

Roaming around the customer shopping area of this year’s Design Festival Design Junction show, we found the full range of a brand we’d already found love for when spotting their prints in The Barbican shop.

Alternative Love Blueprint – A History of Alternative Music

Dorothy is a graphic-designed heaven for music lovers, film lovers, typography lovers, brutalist lovers, culture lovers – so many great intriguing and clever art works in print to choose from, as well as a few extras of tea towels, mugs and ornaments.

They create prints that we can imagine were dreamt up over a pint of two and then laborious hours from there spent designing and creating the content for them.

We love the process and train of thought for the print works and our favourites include the ‘Alternative Love Blueprint – A History of Alternative Music‘ (£35) and the ‘Lost Destination: The Haçienda‘ (£35)

Science Fiction Star Chart – Original Open Edition

The brand has both an lovely online independent shop as well as a well-curated store on the popular marketplace, Etsy.
