Coulson Macleod’s £150 Giveaway

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

We want to give you £150. Yes. That’s right. A whole whop­ping £150 to spend on Coulson Macleod typo­graphic art from our website.

We can hear you all shout­ing “Ooh me please!”

So this is how you can enter our fun little com­pet­i­tion in the run-up to Christmas.

First of all you need to be a Coulson Macleod customer.

Then simply take a photo of your typo­graphic print hanging in your home. Aren’t we nosy?

We’ll post your pho­tos on our Face­book page, on this blog, and then when we have enough we’ll put all your pho­tos on a ded­ic­ated page on our web­site.

To get you star­ted here are some pho­tos of Penny McCormick’s apart­ment in Dubai. Penny is the editor of Emir­ates Home and her apart­ment also appeared in the 2010 issue of ‘Hot 100 Homes’ magazine (also based in the United Arab Emirates).

Now we don’t expect you to have a magazine worthy pad like Penny’s. We just want to see what our typo­graphic art looks like hanging in your home.

We’ll announce the win­ner on 10th Decem­ber. Just in time for you to pick some­thing out for Christ­mas. Ding dong mer­rily on high!

Hope this gets you into the fest­ive spirit.

Coulson Macleod Gift Vouchers

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Launched today, the Coulson Macleod Gift Pack.

We’ve designed it so it doesn’t look like a last minute pur­chase. Or a ‘I haven’t got a clue what to buy. Oh a voucher will do’.

A Coulson Macleod Gift Pack is more than just a gift voucher. What you’re in fact buy­ing is a little work of art. A Coulson Macleod hand­made work of art. Simple, dis­tressed, typo­graphic… just smal­ler than usual.

We send our Gift Packs in a simple, brown, but utterly gor­geous Coulson Macleod-branded gift box. Made from recycled paper. Of course.

And inside is a unique Coulson Macleod typo­graphic art­work.

  • Unique as it’s hand­made from reclaimed Vic­torian roof timbers.
  • Unique as it’s white-washed by hand.
  • Unique as it’s prin­ted by hand.

Of course, each of these stages brings its own slight variations.

  • Each piece of wood has its own knots and cracks.
  • Each paint stroke car­ries a dif­fer­ent amount of paint.
  • Each hand-inked print is laid on to a dif­fer­ent sur­face tex­ture and a dif­fer­ent amount of pres­sure applied.

Res­ult­ing in a one-off piece of art. Which is what makes own­ing a Coulson Macleod so special.

Then of course we add your Gift Voucher. You can add your own per­sonal message.

Then your spe­cial someone can use their Gift Voucher as pay­ment, or part-payment, for any of the art­work on our website.

Well, that’s your Christ­mas presents sor­ted then!
