Say hello to Coulson Macleod’s new stockist.

Pretty nice hey?

This is Burford House. One of two stores run by the Burford Garden Com­pany.

Burford House is in Worcester­shire, between the mar­ket towns of Ten­bury Wells and Ludlow.

As well as this gor­geous Geor­gian man­sion, the Burford Garden Com­pany also has a store in Burford, Oxfordshire.

Burford Garden Com­pany focus on products of last­ing value and clas­sic design, often with a mod­ern twist. Well that per­fectly describes our typo­graphic art.

They say, “If there’s one thing we’ve learned in our 30 years, it’s that pas­sion inspires passion…and qual­ity is the key to a customer’s heart.” We second that. We’re all about pas­sion. And qual­ity. Pas­sion drives us. Qual­ity drives our customer.

Who fan­cies a trip to the Cotswolds?

Coulson Macleod’s very first trade show is under our belt. Top Drawer 2011 at London’s Olympia.

The whole event went remark­ably smoothly and we thor­oughly enjoyed ourselves. We made friends with our neigh­bor­ing stands. And loved chat­ting to all the retail­ers who came onto our stand to come and see and order our typo­graphic art.

We’ll be blog­ging lots more about Top Drawer 2011, but for now here’s a few pho­tos of Sat­urday — the build-day — to get our stand C42 ready for the show open­ing the fol­low­ing day, Sunday 11^th September…

Coulson Macleod typo­graphic art is stocked in a brand new store in Glas­gow called Pur­dies.

And it’s a really fant­astic space. These pho­tos are taken from Pur­dies’ Face­book page. The qual­ity isn’t amaz­ing, but you get the idea…

Just look at all those Coulson Macleod typo­graphic prints. Think we spot eleven.

This was an art­icle about Pur­dies in Glasgow’s Even­ing Times…

A bud­ding entre­pren­eur is cap­it­al­ising on the gap in the mar­ket left by the clos­ure of Hab­itat to open a funky new interi­ors stores in Glasgow.

Chris Nel­son opened Pur­dies, Miller Street in the Mer­chant City, to offer a mix of fur­niture, ceram­ics, home­wares, art­work, and gift ideas.

“We want to cre­ate a brand where every­body can come in and exper­i­ence the products,” said busi­ness gradu­ate Chris, 24.

Prices range from £10 for cos­met­ics to more than £1000 for a hand­made arm­chair by Scots designer Car­oline Key.

The large arched win­dows of Pur­dies, on the ground floor of an 18^th cen­tury build­ing com­mis­sioned by one of the city’s tobacco lords, was most recently the home of Stirling’s library.

The 3700 sqft unit is the second-largest within the £6 mil­lion Vir­ginia Court and Miller Street development. It’s an ambi­tious scale for a first time retailer, but the size of the build­ing only added to its appeal for Chris. He said: “This place came along and I fell in love with it, the build­ing, the space. I just thought that, because of its loc­a­tion and because of the style that Glas­gow has, I could make this work. I’m not one for doing things half-heartedly. If I’m going to go for it, then I’m going to go for it. If I fail, I fail, but I don’t plan on it.”

Chris said he has liaised with some 150 inde­pend­ent inter­na­tional sup­pli­ers to source items for his shop. He has retro fur­niture, wall cov­er­ings, cush­ions and crock­ery from Brighton-based Dupenny; quirky clocks by Amy Lev­in­son; retro mir­rors by Paul Blease of Being Blease; and grenade-style ceram­ics by Cosima Sempill of Edinburgh-based Kitty & Dude.

His even­tual aim is to cre­ate a gal­lery space and shop where art stu­dents, gradu­ates, and design­ers can show­case their work to the public. “For quite a few of our sup­pli­ers, we are the only stock­ist in Scot­land, which is great for us. It’s great for them as well. There’s a lot of style in Glas­gow and they’re not afraid to spend their money,” he added. “Although there’s a lot of money in Edin­burgh, it’s old money and it’s spent on more clas­sical artwork.”

He chose the name Pur­dies as he thought it soun­ded wel­com­ing. It does. Oh, if only we lived nearer.

Coulson Macleod is delighted to announce a brand new stock­ist: Hirst & Hirst.

Hirst & Hirst is a gor­geous new interi­ors shop in Oakham (in the very pretty and tiny Eng­lish county of  Rutland).

And they will be selling our typo­graphic art. Yip­pee!

Hirst & Hirst sell an eclectic mix of con­tem­por­ary home­ware and gifts with a strong emphasis on style. Yep! That’ll be us then.

Many of the items in store have been fea­tured in magazines such as Elle Dec­or­a­tion and Easy Liv­ing. Yep! We’ve been fea­tured in both of those magazines.

Some of the design­ers include Snowden Flood, whose work has been com­mis­sioned by the Tate and Lon­don Trans­port Museum. We are totally in love with her glass tum­blers with winter trees. As you know, we love winter trees.

Other design­ers include Matt Wing­field, who has worked for Har­vey Nich­ols, Diesel, Ted Baker and Stu­art Gardiner, whose home­ware range is sold in Liberty, The Con­ran Shop, and Anthropologie.

Also for sale in Hirst & Hirst is ISAK, a Swedish brand, foun­ded by Sandra Isaks­son, which has an unmis­tak­ably Scand­inavian style, all influ­enced by Sandra’s her­it­age and travels. And we love the fact she says ISAK products are part hand made by trolls.

Thank you Trondheim. Yes, we have another Nor­we­gian stock­ist. Let me intro­duce you to…

the latest shop to stock Coulson Macleod typo­graphic art.

Trond­heim is right at the top of Nor­way. So we pretty much have the whole of Nor­way covered with our five stockists.

The shop is due to open on 15^th Octo­ber and we’ll tell you more about it then. But this is the out­side, pre-makeover…

Chez Nous will also be stock­ing the most delight­ful sta­tion­ery from fel­low Nor­we­gian com­pany Darling Clem­entine

And cush­ions and wall­pa­per from Dan­ish com­pany Ferm Liv­ing…

This is the second shop in Trond­heim for the own­ers of Chez Nous. Their first is Cor­ne­lias Hus. As ever, stocked with the most gor­geous products.

Wel­come to Coulson Macleod’s latest stockist…

in Gjøvik, Nor­way.

This gor­geous concept store/café opened on Septem­ber 1^st.

Gjovik is a small enorm­ously pretty town with obvi­ously fab­ulous shop­ping. And is right on Lake Mjosa, the biggest lake in Norway.

Our hearts long for Norway.

Ja, vi elsker dette landet? It’s Nor­we­gian. It trans­lates as, Yes, we love this coun­try. This is the title of their national anthem. And this is how Coulson Macleod feels about Norway.

Why do we love Norway?

Actu­ally the ques­tion should be, why does Nor­way love Coulson Macleod?

We’ve just taken an order from our fourth stock­ist there. Coulson and I are think­ing a trip to Nor­way is in order. We can visit our gorgeous-looking stock­ists in Oslo, Ber­gen, Gjøvik, and Nit­te­dal (pictured)…

and this gor­geous look­ing country…
