The hand
Every commission is drawn in our London studio, where interior design meets illustration. The hand you approve on the proof is the hand on the finished piece.

In confidence
Some of the houses we have drawn for. The work itself stays private.
I · Discretion
Sealed, as standard
You will not find our brand work on this page. That is the point: what we make for a house belongs to the house.
- § 1
An NDA first
We sign yours, or send ours, before you share a single file. Every brand project begins this way.
- § 2
Your guidelines, kept
Typefaces, colours, marks and tone handled exactly as your brand book asks.
- § 3
Never shown
Nothing appears on our website, our social channels or in a portfolio unless you say so in writing.
- § 4
One contact
A single person at the studio looks after your project, from the first call to the day it arrives.
II · What we make
Small objects, serious work
III · Specification

VI · Live
Drawn live, at your event
For launches, store openings and private dinners, we draw live. A guest’s portrait, a monogram, a detail of the room, finished on a matchbox they carry home.
Drawn in front of them, in your colours and under your direction. The queue becomes part of the evening, and the object outlasts it.
