We are proud to present our recent collaboration with Cunard Cruises. For Cunard we designed an experience to elevate the art of letter writing for Suite guests and the library onboard. The new Queen Anne is the first new Cunard liner in 14 years and represents a new design direction for the fleet.

We designed and supplied bespoke leather blotters and desk organisers made locally in Hackney with and using local reclaimed London Plane from along with engraved Makers Cabinet pieces. To top it all off we created custom embossers for sealing the final glamour into your letter which are unique to each Suite.

We are so proud to be apart of this incredible endeavour and be contribute of the heritage and future. Thank you for inviting us onboard to see, we hope for be back soon.
