all fired up


I'm working with a client at the moment who has particularly good taste, knows what she wants and trusts me to help her get there. It's the kind of project that every designer dreams of working on because it is challenging in the best possible way: I feel encouraged to push ideas much further than I normally would do and that is an exciting ride. 

I joined the project a few steps in, and so, naturally, I'm working with a few preconceived ideas - developing palettes around a couple of products that I've not used before. Once of which is Fired Earth. They produce some lovely tiles and their colour palettes are inspired (Kevin McCloud's work, no doubt). 

I thought I'd share with you a couple of things I've spotted on the side. What do you think of the printed tiles? I think they're charming, but I think it's the layout that really makes it, wouldn't you agree?
