Best Design Practice
93ft Journal
December 2012
‘Best Interior Design Practice’ in the North of England by The Northern Design Awards, and we’re stoked!
A stellar line up of nationally acclaimed experts in design including Sir Terence Conran, Livingetc’s editor, Suzanne Imre, Linda Barker and Wayne Hemingway MBE judged 93ft the winners of the category based on the strength of their interiors portfolio.
Uniquely representing Yorkshire and short-listed out of hundreds of entries, we competed against four other design houses from the North at the awards for the prestigious title of ‘Interior Design Practice of the Year’.
We place a lot of emphasis in presenting bespoke turnkey designs which push us past ‘just’ interior design and incorporates ID and Brand to accompany interior solutions that give our clients the platform they need to develop and improve their business in commercial, retail, leisure and hospitality environments.
Based in Sheffield but working all over the UK and into Europe 93ft co-owners Tim Hubbard and Nick Clark, 93ft work with brands who are willing to use interior design as a way to improve their business prospects and to elevate their brand to a level which reflects products they sell, environment or the ethos in which they run their day to day.
Tim comments, ‘We work with a great range of clients with varying budgets and time-scales. A new interior often means closing – and the inevitable loss of trading time. We not only design bespoke but direct and project manage to ensure our clients open as fast as possible but with exceptionally high standard results, to be recognised for this in this economic climate is not only reassuring but immensely pleasing.’
An important part of 93ft’s design ethos is the use of high quality reclaim and salvage materials which have been rescued, restored and applied into architectural interiors. Hubbard comments ‘using reclaim isn’t always the easiest way – but the results of historic woods and antique leathers, materials with meaning and heritage make all the difference to us and our clients.’
And here’s how we did it! Click here

Capturing a place
93ft Journal
October 2012
A reversal of roles you might say! We’ve drawn the interior of The Eye Place, Belsize after we’ve completed the shop fit. The client wanted to capture a view of the shop in a way that was less literal than a photograph. We naturally suggested trying pen and ink to soften the scene. Wonderfully playful, simple yet still very much a ‘go to’ retail emporium in Belsize, London.

May 2012
accessEcology approached us to help redefine their identity, across both web and print media. The identity formed around a solid and practical font style which we then hit with two distinct weights of type driving their key business driver – Ecology. The cards were litho printed with a short and personable rationale for each of their key business members. For this we used a bitter chocolate ink, then blind embossed the brand to strong effect. Almost the perfect eco card. Nothing too overstated, using and natural properties of the eco-paper stocks specified to create something practical yet with a bit of beauty. Sharp cards for a hard working team, thanks again for working with us!

Silversmiths Brand
Identity and Branding
January 2012
Silversmiths really did have it’s heritage in silversmithing. So we’re working on devising clever ways in which we can pull on the heritage of metal working and marry it to an environment more conducive with a restaurant.
Each letter is hand drawn and deliberately printed small (on most occasions) to resemble a silver makers hallmark. All paper stocks and in-house selling tools such as the menus have been careful brought in line with an ex-industrial, vintage but modern tone. Rich bitter chocolate brown, classic brogue tan, and unbleached paper are key colours used through-out the scheme, and they do suit each other well. The thickness and texture of the stocks has also been something important to get right – certainly for those who appreciate a more tactile environment. Pick up, pocket and enjoy – welcome to the world of great print.

Summer Reigns Eternal – and it’s true to say that in Manchester it often feels that way! Enter The Oast House, a new venture to Spinningfields, Manchester – and a project that we have been working on with our client for many months. Collaborating with our illustrators we’ve created a handwritten alternate to the simple yet strong typeface used on the key note branding. Both Emma Smith’s and Manchester legend Daren Newman’s illustrations work incredibly well to give the client unique and brand led content which helps to define The Oast House against it’s other City centre rivals. Bold but with oversized dashes of nostalgic pub we give you The Oast House!

Completing a trio of bars and restaurants in Leeds for Living Ventures. This time, Trinity welcomes The Botanist a New World Pub Company spectacular as part of Leeds £350m regeneration programme!

Web Design
January 2012
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could have a full designed bespoke front-end website matched with the power and flexibility of a fully Content Managed System that had room for growth and expansion in line with business requirements. Well, here it is!
Simple designs are always the best, and here we marry simplicity with a limited number of page template designs which gives the whole site a airy ease. The content management system we use strips away the unnecessary features known in WordPress, so from an administration point of view it’s easy to delegate, assign responsibility to your content editors and update yourself as and when you need to, from where ever you’re based in the world. This includes the broadcast of e-shots that tie seamlessly into the website design. Power at your fingertips for sure! For Silversmiths Restaurant that has also been an important bonus as to why they invested in a future proof website infrastructure.
For further information or a show around the websites we create email us, … speak soon!

What a line up! Groove Armada, Heaven 17, Arctic Monkeys, U2, and Kasabian!
When Tracey Welch approached 93ft to deliver her new portfolio website how could we refuse? Working across a focused sector of industries Tracey also heads up a enviable collection of music photography with top UK and International music artists including Sheffield’s own Arctic Monkeys, to Ibizan giants of Electronic Dance music – Groove Armada.
Tracey had 2 goals she needed to achieve with her website. Number 1, she needed a website that would let the photography do the talking, and in time allow her to sell her work via a PayPal e-commerce plug in. Achieved. Number 2, Tracey needed a website that she could content manage herself. So we built her a website designed to be on demand, allowing her to go straight from the shoot to upload direct onto her website. Achieved.

A brand and website concept for translation company Voicebox. The idea – to be able to scroll and select the language you wish to communicate in by changing your Voicebox option. 93ft devised a fresh and media driven feel to the brand, which pushes the boundaries of traditional translation companies brands and websites that are usually weighted on too much content without an ingenious concept behind the brand and product. From an initial language selection, the website would then tailor search results relevant to the language and products available to buy online.

We have just completed a total re-skin web design for sports kit suppliers Kitlocker.com. They approached 93ft to help them to refresh their existing online brand for which we delivered to them a full redesign of the website as well as ironing out any inconsistencies in their existing logo.
The front end development allows browsers to buy instantly on the front page, and helps guide the browser through a consistent series of streamlined pages working to reduce the number of page and clicks to complete the order. A key part of the brief was for the Kitlocker web team to be able to update the styling and promotional banners both on the home and product pages. We also created themed backdrops for the homepage which could be tailored to the seasons or customised to suit on-board brands.

Wild Star now also benefits from the statistics, automation and inherent Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) available on their new platform.

A major part of the picture came into play earlier this Summer for the Silversmiths brand. A redefinition of the restaurant and bar interior working with some existing elements while revamping others. Reclaim table tops from a local school, matched with a warming wood backdrop add some honesty and character to the space. Intelligent lighting allows the client to control the mood of the restaurant at the touch of a button. We continue to work with Justin and Donna to further add to the space including illustrations from London illustrator Emma Smith, as well as new leather drinks menus, and other interior oddments.

A top boardroom for a top floor ex-industrial steel mill in Sheffield. Working with a great space helps tremendously, here the old belt and wheel pulleys were left upstairs providing a perfect native installation statement for the room.
Taking a modern heritage approach we clad the far wall with reclaimed floor boards, to mimic an almost Scandinavian wood hut vibe. Large industrial lamps salvaged from the nearby Miba Tyzack factory on Kelham Island add scale to the airspace, overhanging the large custom made boardroom table. The table itself has been created from super wide floor boards and oddments from church pews. Cuban colonial style slat blinds add an edge of class to the window reveals from which you can see across the skyline of the City.
A warm business environment, perfect for professional creative banter.

From Bakewell, Derbyshire we head to London town for our latest interior project – The Eye Place, Belsize. The brief this time was to instil a sense of old school Sherlock for opticians brand The Eye Place.
The components for the shop fit itself were all made off-site in Sheffield, then transported to London for final fitting. All the cabinetry has been hand finished from reclaimed timber, with key pieces of lighting sourced opposite The Chimney House at Kelham Island from the former Miba Tyzack steel factory. Alex, the client, prides himself of ensuring his patients and customers have the most advanced eye testing equipment at their disposal. Behind the reclaim, hides the super high tech, Optomap and MPod eye testing units. The sum total of all this we call Modern heritage, and an example of this at it’s finest.

Private Residence
Interior Architecture
December 2010
Charged with creating a sublime design revamp of an existing grand kitchen in one of Sheffield’s finest private residences this was a matter of high sophistication matched with an innate eye for detail and expertise.
The project consisted of a modified layout and the bespoke manufacture of the large island along with new lighting design and careful specification of all products and finishes. To capture a timeless chic aspect to match the client’s aspirations Nero Marquina marble was used as standard on worktops to maintain depth and sophistication.
Reflecting industrial modernity Wolf appliances were specified with a nod to practicality as well as an eye firmly on aesthetics. Two Swarovski crystal chandeliers over the island brought the whole project together as the ultimate luxury kitchen experience.

New to The Oast House, a collection of over 100 editions of this beautifully illustrated beer almanac featuring over 60 of the world’s finest and most revered beers. Illustrated by the famed London illustrator and ceramic artist Emma Smith, it captures something of a wonderful journey for all of those avid beer-heads. Each illustration is accompanied with hand written tasting notes and essential information about origins, makers and awards. Made from recycled vintage book covers sourced from around the UK, each book cover features an olde English title – often to much amusement in the context of a beer house setting. Printed digitally using the latest Indigo Press, on the Cairn Eco Range from Paperback, each hand finished in Sheffield for export to Manchester. The covers feature hot foil embossing with a silk book marker so you’ll never forget your place even after a few deadly Duvels! Happy reading.

Silversmiths Gift-cards
Print and Design
January 2012
Ingenious gift-cards designed and produced for award-winning restaurant Silversmiths! Made from the Cairn Eco Range of papers from paper coop Paperback, London. As ever we instructed our embosser to ensure the utmost care was taken to ensure these were produced as envisioned, and he didn’t fail. Featuring embossed branding to the front, and satin silver hot foil to the interior. The gift-card values can be tailored to suit any pocket by punching the value from the numbers listed using a Boston made stainless steel hand punch. Raw, industrial but with an edge of uber-cool, enjoy your meal and see you again soon.

Living Ventures
Print and Design
January 2012
Developing the profile of a leading figure in any business is something that is rarely undertaken. To mark the development of the Living Ventures blog we approached leading illustrator Nick Hardcastle – who regularly contributes artwork to top fashion and style magazines Esquire, and broadsheets including The Times and The Independent. Here Hardcastle worked quickly, drawing on all his skills to capture a fond likeness of visionary entrepreneur Tim Bacon, MD of Living Ventures Restaurants. The result, a superbly executed pen and ink portrait that can be used across a range of media both on and off line, in editorial campaigns, personal stationary as well as featuring on ‘that wall’ in ‘that rather nice frame’. Nice work if you can get it!

Mio Amore
Print and Design
May 2011
Just in – the Mio Amore brochures, featuring the illustrations of Norwegian illustrator Esra Roise. Printed on uncoated stocks across the scheme, to pull back the glitz and glam of traditional make-up and treatment brands.
This one’s a bit more sophisticated with an edge of underground chic. The logo on the front cover also features a deboss – a great way to add some to plain printed typeface. These deluxe clutch compendiums reveal a fold out guide telling you everything you need to know about treatments and beauty remedies available from this luxury spa brand.

Meet the new Planet X Nanolight 920G Carbon Road Frame, featuring graphics and colours selected by 93ft.
