During a trip to Manchester I found a gorgeous pink window display in the Mulberry store. When you have a huge budget and a simple product (in this case, a handbag or two) you can get creative! We love the huge pink flowers against the simple white background, and the simple black line drawn ladders […]

The Darwin Centre is a great example of how combining simple, contemporary design ideas with the museums historical aspects can be really fun and effective. And we love the little details, like the funky desk and the “extinction sucks” souvenir lollypops!

This project from 2011 was completely different to our Cheshire Oaks 2010 project, as the audience for the space was completely different. It was great fun using our creativity to create something contemporary but still fun, and it was fantastic to see families using it and enjoying it! [all images by bwd]
