First Social Distancing Window Display
Our latest window display project was inspired by historical gun purchase account ledgers that are currently housed inside the Purdey & Sons store. One of ledgers features a record of Charles Darwin purchasing guns for his expeditions!
We recreated the accounts ledgers by fabricating bookshelves populated with old world book props that we made by using wood with routed edges to give the effect of the curved edge of old books, we dye coloured canvasses that were stretched over the books and finished with printed graphic ledger labels.
The book props displayed off the shelves featured a marbling effect from the paper pages when closed, we took the pattern from the marbling effect and printed it on backgrounds to mirror the book patterns, on the shop front display.
Purdey and Sons reopen next week as we move towards the new normal and away from full lockdown.
New material added to our materials library

Alusid source unwanted manufacturing materials that others discard. They take those materials and put them through an ingenious, low-impact process to give them a new lease of life. No chemicals or resin binders are used. The result is a new kind of material, combining glass and porcelain, to create solid surfaces and tiles with individual character and low environmental impact.
Never less than 98% recycled materials.

Barclays Pingit wearable chip fancy dress costumes
We collaborated with Barclays for their new Pingit Campaign that raised awareness for their mobile payment app Pingit and its convenient new features.
Barclays research revealed that a 1/3 of Brits lost their money during Stag & Hen do trips abroad, mostly due to the wearing of impractical fancy dress costumes as the reason for money lost, during nights out. We solved this by sewing Barclays Pingit chips onto the country’s most popular fancy dress to enable transactions straight from costume to machine.
