Along the right lines. Our summer artist spotlight lands on British illustrator #HarryFrost who finds inspiration in the beauty of the natural world around his Derbyshire studio. Masterfully perfecting the pairing of fountain pen ink and sketchbook, Harry’s emotive line drawings explore the twin themes of memory and landscape. His piece entitled 'Clouds Above the Fields' has been translated into a light and airy gift wrap for the summer season. Printed on recycled 120gsm paper, the wrapping is secured in a classic fold without embellishment, allowing the artwork to take centre stage and illustrating the endless potential of paper as a blank canvas for creativity and expression. #COLFORD #HarryFrost #TheArtOfGifting #Collaboration #GiftWrapping

Good sports.   To celebrate the launch of Burlington Arcade's Sporting Club for the summer season, COLFORD produced bespoke gifting for guests at a special soirée to mark the unveiling.   Organic cotton drawstring gym bags contained vintage style caps featuring embroidered slogans inspired by the arcade's historic 'Laws of Courtesy' enforced by the iconic Burlington Beadles. Along with custom tennis balls made by Britain's last remaining manufacturer of sports balls, the usable, long-lasting gifts celebrate a summer of sporting excellence.    #COLFORD #BurlingtonArcadeSportingClub #BespokeGifting

Mastering the art of responsible gifting. Ever conscious of minimising and utilising our waste, we commissioned artist #RobsonStannard to create works by upcycling paper offcuts salvaged from the COLFORD studio. The artworks combine painting and collage techniques in Robson’s signature style. Abstracted springtime flowers emerge from a ground of textured recycled papers and bloom into unique gift embellishments with a positive message of reincarnation. #COLFORD #TheArtOfGifting #Collaboration #GiftWrapping #RobsonStannard
