Chase and Wonder

When exhibiting at Top Drawer we found this fantastic brand 'Chase and Wonder' whose gorgeous products are designed & manufactured in Britain! Chase and Wonder was founded in 2012 by Faye Pearce & David Aspinall who had 'the simple aim of creating fine examples of design and creativity'. We love their beautiful typography style & the manipulation of well known phrases & quotations! These wonderful designers have worked for clients such as Anthropologie, the BBC & you can currently find them on the 'gloriously British' online shop Will & Glory.

You can visit them on their website or see what they are up to on their blog or on Twitter!
