this past week we have been dealing, as a city based company, with the riots that have been spreading through every area in london. thankfully we and all of our family and friends that live here are safe, and we hope you have been too. our studio in greenwich was nearby the areas targeted for looting and rioting, thankfully nothing was harmed. we are wishing you all the best if you have had problems and are still coping with the repercussions of these peoples' actions. we are sending all of our best thoughts and support to you.
with peoples' faith and sense of safety and love for their city rapidly decreasing, we think it is about time we revealed to you our new wallpaper design. we have been working on a london themed design for many months now, and we are finally getting it into production this month, in time for 100% Design. we hope that this design will speak for itself in representing the city that we love and live in.
all of our wallpaper evokes a subtle sense of nostalgia and happiness. ‘wish you were here in London’ is our tribute to those halcyon days. so many memories of childhood were made in this exciting city; it would be such a waste to forget them when we are captured in the hustle of everyday life. we see iconic buildings and beautiful sights every day, but if we slow down and discover a quiet street or small café with people enjoying themselves, we can capture the stories and joys of each person who loves london in a unique way. look around; who knows what new surprises you might find.
the shock we felt when seeing japan be destroyed hit us all over again with the recent events in england. we felt as though people were so fortunate to live in a relatively safe country and yet some are destroying it- what a shame to be so lucky but to take it for granted. we want to encapsulate london's beauty and strength in this wallpaper, to try and keep what we love as well as possible.
this city contains such history, spirit and wonderful people. we hope everyone can begin to work together and learn to live happily again soon.
