The Aldeburgh festival starts next week, and we're thrilled to launch our latest postcard box set - SNAP - featuring iconic images by artists with an association to the festival.

Artists Sarah Lucas, Gary Hume, Juergen Teller, Abigail Lane, Cerith Wyn Evans, Don Brown, Darren Almond, Simon Liddiment, Julian Simmons, Johnnie Shand Kydd, Russell Haswell and Mark Fuller each contribute an iconic image to our new postcard box set 'SNAP'.

Originally published by Paul Stolper as part of the Aldeburgh festival the images are reproduced here in postcard format, and presented in a hand made box set.

Our friends and distributors in Japan - Razy Works -  have set up 'Case Study' in the Tokyo Conran store this week. Reijin and the rest of the polite and creative folk at Razy Works like to hold product exhibition/showcases in stores across Japan - temporary, exciting, innovative and special events with carefully curated products, set in imaginative spaces - specially constructed for the shows. 

These pictures give a good idea of the attention to detail and we're thrilled to have our David Shrigley Salt and Pepper Shakers featured in the collection.

Heres a brilliant short film about Kevin Cummins and his iconic photographs of Joy Division. As well as being a visual treat with a brilliant soundtrack, it's about the photographs and how they became integral to how we think of the band - and through the interviews with Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, Paul Morley and Natalie Curtis, we get an insight into the band, the times and Manchester.

We've made a special box set featuring some of the most iconic and interesting images from the collection - presented in hand finished box, made in Manchester - which you can see and buy here
