First Impressions Count...

With more and more businesses looking to create dynamic visual spaces within their workplace, we were very impressed with the latest offering from Muraspec.

In a nutshell, Impressions are sculptured panels which offer a practical and cost effective way to add impact and atmosphere to a feature wall.

Each panel is manufactured by sculpting 3 dimensional designs onto a core panel of 1.2m x 2.4m mdf, finished with a pressure formed laminate surface layer to give added visual impact and durability. This range has been designed exclusively by Muraspec’s in house team u...

The One to Watch: 2012

In our offices this week, the topic of discussion has been not only New Years resolutions (mainly gym related!) but also New Years predictions for the year ahead. One product which we all agreed would be the “one to watch” is Steelcase’s newest academic seating solution, the Node chair. The Node combines a funky design with devilishly clever functional aspects.

We’re always on the look-out for products that push the envelope in both of these respects, so when we were introduced to the Media:Scape by Steelcase we knew it was only a matter of time before we managed to get it into one of our schemes. Check out the case study for Mobile Messaging company Txttools who were keen to get the media:scape into their new offices. With a parent company based in the US, this pro...

We're all about the brand: October promo from Office Supplies!

After all the hard work we’ve put in to launch our recent face lift, we’ve inevitably picked up a (slightly geeky) interest in branding everywhere. The best-known brands such as Apple & Nike are instantly recognisable with just a symbol (um…can we count Prince) in that category?), but how effective would those brands be without the correct placement?

Just for fun, we took a look at a few clever campaigns and some ingenious advertising placement. Which got us thinking…

…Why should the perfect brand placement just be left to the big boys?
