Infinity Foods Cafe interior

I was originally approached by the folks over at Infinity Foods Cafe to come up with a new colour scheme for the cafe. Now Infinity ( if you don’t know ) is an institution, so this was important to come up with something that would appeal to old and new customers alike.
Once I’d given them my ideas for a colour scheme, they then asked me to come up with a visual for a complete cafe refurb.
I went along to the Infinity food store to get some ideas and was really inspired by the bakery section that had recently been done – one of the problems with the Cafe as it stood was that people didn’t realise that the cafe and store were one and the same thing, so there needed to be a connection visually between both paces. and what better place than the in-house bakery that supplies the Cafe. More on the Infinity story over in the Design section…

We had the very best time at Pick Me Up this year…thank you to all those who came and said Hi and bought a great piece of art! We will be updating the shop within the next couple of weeks with all manner of new goodies…watch this space!

Having taken part in the wonderful Pick Me Up at Somerset House last April. We had decided to look at ways of taking illustration and putting them on different media. So came about using the very wonderful illustrations of Danny Sangra in particular his Birds and Banana print. We first made a limited edition screen print in three colour ways and then decided to make this into a printed fabric. Although I am a true believer in Screen printing, with digital printing as it it today you can really achieve some amazing results.

This year we are looking at producing more illustration based home wares and using different production techniques and different media…meanwhile to whet your appetite here are some shots of the chaise longue and two seater parker knoll sofa we made for Pick Me Up. We will have new items up on our website in the next couple of weeks including some fabulous cushions and new screen prints.

We are incredibly excited about being part of Pick Me Up 2014 over the next couple of weeks leading up to the opening we will be revealing some of the exciting things that we have planned including a make-your-own Frida Kahlo doll workshop with the wonderful Lou Taylor dates to be announced.

When I closed Best’s doors with a final amazing exhibition with INSA  – Best then became an online store and blog.

Although dormant for some time now the Best blog Archive makes amazing reading, and as the store is still very much live, feel free to purchase! New things do appear from time to time…
