Why we love “The Big Apple”

Karen

“The Big Apple” is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due to a promotional campaign by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau, known now as NYC & Company.

Bold and Noble have once again outdone themselves by creating a type map print of “The Big Apple”. Now on closer inspection we can find all our favourite places in New York.  Also available is the A-Z of New York created by Laura Seaby for Keep Calm Gallery

Dennis & McGregor Exclusive Retailers of Inhabit

Karen

Known throughout the world as a prolific Design house, Inhabit has made a considerable impact on the world of design for the home. Basically by accident (and a printer found in the trash) founders Mike Tuttle and Jennifer Smith Tuttle turned a client’s distaste for three graphic patterns into fabric prototypes and in late 2002 Inhabit was born. Shortly after, they swore off designing for other clients to focus strictly on growing the Inhabit brand. Ever since they have been blurring the lines between design disciplines by taking their graphic-driven style out of the commercial design world and into your homes, commercial environments and public spaces.

Their products can be seen daily on television programs, read about in the most industry relevant publications but most-importantly adorning the spaces of fans everywhere.

We are pleased to confirm that Dennis and McGregor are now the exclusive retailers of this well known brand.  We will be carrying everything from graphic pillows and designer handbags to the exclusive and well known wall flat designs.  Visit the website to view the full Inhabit Collection.

Artworks that are kind to the environment too, they’re all printed on recycled card and sent out in eco cardboard tubes.

Bold & Noble’s work has been featured internationally in the design & interiors press (Creative Review, Living etc, Elle Decoration, The Observer, Times Style magazine… to name but a few!) and they’ve won industry awards. But most importantly they love being creative with words and pictures.

The importance of music in human lives can produce gratitude, heal stress with a stimulation of entertainment for one to be successful at his best.” Joyce Phillips
