What we do

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.

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.

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.

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.
