Alford Manor House - contempoary heritage souvenirs

Alford Landmark Bookends (above)

We have designed and produced some new contemporary souvenirs for the heritage sector for Alford Manor House in Lincolnshire, who we have also been working with on Twist a large outdoor commission through the Museumaker scheme. See the blog post on Twist, a contemporary summerhouse opened by Sir Andrew Motion in September 2010.

The Alford Landmark Bookends take the towns most celebrated buildings (the Manor House and 5-sailed windmill) and translate them into functional bookends.

The Wallpaper brooch translates a small motif from the restored bedroom wallpaper into a contemporary brooch design.

The bookends and the brooch are available directly from Alford Manor House, Alford, Lincolnshire. http://www.alfordmanorhouse.com/

As seen on TV!

I was very excited to appear on national television on Friday 12th February, on the daily ITV programme House Gift. The fab interior designer and presenter Danielle Proud (below centre) came and purchased some of my Outdoor Wallpaper for a local Oxfordshire couple for the show. The red Damask design looked stunning on their dining room wall as an interior decorative wall feature.

Its still on the itvplayer if you missed it here is the link - HouseGift on the itv player.

Thanks Danielle!
