GFSmith Show Space

A little paper inspo this week from the wonderful GFSmith Show Space in London. After Top Drawer (which has the fabulous paper awards sponsored by GFSmith) I popped over to their wonderful gallery space on Eastcastle Street with colleagues who work in publishing at the University of London.

Described as a 'paper palace' by Wallpaper magazine the Show Space did not disappoint. The exhibition room houses a history of the company and examples of the many creative projects - I especially liked the 'Mulberry Green' paper developed for the Mulberry fashion brand. The most striking piece is the incredible Collection Wall which displays each of the papers GFSmith has created and curated. This includes one of my faves, the super eco designer paper Extract made from coffee cups.

The Show Space is a most welcome break from screen time. It is lovely to have the opportunity to spend a morning appreciating such beautiful paper.

Cobalt SS19

New for SS19, so popular we’ve added some new designs to the super stylish men’s greetings collection Cobalt created for Cinnamon Aitch. The range features a modern colour palette combined with natural textures and zingy foil on a quality heavyweight board. I had a lot of fun creating these contemporary illustrations inspired by the great outdoors and lovely times together at home. The cards feature icons of campervans, golf, fishing, music and wine. The Cobalt design uses a traditional paper collage style contrasted with modern graphic lines and punchy foil. Each card is packed with a unique bespoke concrete patterned envelope. Launched at Top Drawer 2019, now available in the shops and direct from Cinnamon Aitch.

Top Drawer SS19

Oh what a fab start to 2019 with the Top Drawer London show. As with last years show, I hugely enjoyed the design talks especially the colour trends session on the latest hues. I loved the PaperAwards, great to see the best in design being celebrated - personal faves were Raspberry Blossom and Hotchpotch in the Engaging Print category. I also happily found some new favourites in the greetings hall with beautiful pop up designs from Pure Alchemy and lovely colour from Mock Up Designs.

Most excitingly of all, the new additions to the men's Cobalt range I designed for Cinnamon Aitch launched. More news to come on those soon!
