Admit­tedly this has been on the Coulson Macleod agenda for some time. Our cus­tom­ers keep ask­ing for it. And now, finally, we’ve almost done it…

designed two more typo­graphic prints for our ‘Dec­ades’ col­lec­tion; ‘The Nineties’ and ‘The Nought­ies’. Yay!

And, even more excit­ing news, we’re also launch­ing a bespoke ver­sion too. We’ll obvi­ously show you the fin­ished prints when they’re ready.

These are the three exist­ing typo­graphic prints in our ‘Dec­ades’ collection…

Our three new typo­graphic prints will fea­ture brand-new, even love­lier and chunkier, frames. Pro­fes­sion­ally framed by a Fine Art Trade Guild member.

So in pre­par­a­tion for the launch, we’ve put our framed ‘Dec­ades’ col­lec­tion (with the old-style pic­ture frame) in our Clear­ance Page. So don’t hes­it­ate if you fancy pick­ing up a bar­gain, num­bers are lim­ited, and when they’ve sold out… well they’re sold out.

Nat­ural reclaimed mater­i­als. Check. Typo­graphy. Check. Hand­made. Check. Vin­tage feel. Check. Oh, so very Coulson Macleod.

Intro­du­cing Coulson Macleod’s Curio Col­lec­tion, inspired by old phar­ma­ceut­ical adverts.

For this new vin­tage art col­lec­tion, we’ve used hes­sian, a coarse woven fab­ric made from the veget­able fibre, jute. We’ve wrapped the hes­sian around a block meas­ur­ing 35cm x 35cm just so you know and prin­ted the art­work onto the fab­ric. Then we’ve moun­ted this hes­sian print onto a hand­made frame made from gor­geous reclaimed wood (Vic­torian roof tim­bers to be exact). The inside of the frame is hand-painted white.

This art­work has an unlim­ited print quantity.

We’ve attached a hanging mech­an­ism to the rear of the frame so it’s ready for you to hang on your wall.

And just in case you were think­ing that the wood looked a bit, well, vin­tage. Yep! That’s the way we like it. We pur­pose­fully retain any defects in the tim­ber to add to the charm and char­ac­ter of the piece. These can include knot holes, nail holes, warps and water marks, so each art­work is totally unique.

It’s not the organic Greek olive oil made by artisan farm­ers that gets us going with Oli­ve­ology. We’re sure it’s deli­cious. No. It’s the packaging.

The num­bers rep­res­ent the tem­per­at­ure that the olives are cold pressed at, the lower the tem­per­at­ure, the bet­ter the oil.

Well made. Simple design. Very Coulson Macleod.

Coulson Macleod’s ‘Not For Squares’ blog is usu­ally about art, design, typo­graphy, and busi­ness. So per­haps this photo is slightly out of the ordinary…

But I (this is Macleod writ­ing) love it and that’s reason enough to show it off.
