It’s been a long time in the making, but the World type map is finally complete. The print is twice the size of our usual prints at 100 cm x 70 cm and comes in a choice of three colours – a new reflex blue, warm grey plus the ever popular sheer slate. All are carefully wrapped in tissue and delivered in robust tubes – the perfect gift for globe trotters…
We’ve admired Simon Weller’s photography for a long time and we love his book South African Township Barbershops & Salons. 
As the cultural and social hubs of South Africas townships, barbershops and salons serve not only as places to get your hair styled but as places to gather, gossip and come together as a community. They also happen to showcase sharp and snappy vernacular designs: renditions of the haircuts on offer as well as typographic demonstrations of each shops name, and now they are being featured on skateboard decks from Familia.
Finding a new place for the map by Samuel Muston in last Thursday’s Independent made interesting reading for map enthusiasts – whether you love them for their looks or are one of the few of us who still use them to get from A to B! It was great to see our Africa Type Map alongside some other beautiful map artworks.
Once again we are giving away a special edition print with all orders from now until 24 December 2011! Nice one, eh? The print is A4 and comes in duck egg blue. All orders will automatically receive this one-off design which is only available through this offer and not sold separately. Happy Shopping!
We are so proud to be featured as November’s High Street Heroes! Thank so very much Ideal Home Magazine – sending the love right back to you!
After a huge number of requests we are delighted to announce the launch of our New York City and Africa Type Maps. We have printed them in sheer slate and duck egg blue and as our other Type Maps, they measure 50 x 70 cm so fit nicely in standard frames. We are donating 50% of this years profits from the Africa Map to the Somalian relief fund.
With under 100 days to go – we found a little Christmas gift inspiration with Jean Sleesmith’s beautiful lino prints….
We spotted these colourful mobiles by Fraizer & Wing on the Living Etc blog and have to agree they most certainly brightened up our spirits here at Bold & Noble HQ!
We were so delighted to see our Ginkgo and Moonlight prints on the front cover of this month’s Ideal Home magazine - we thought you might like to see them too!
