Well done Jean for yet another Louie Award winner at the Stationery Show in New York!

Good to see that we are keeping up our track record of at least one nomination/winner almost every year for 15 years! Shame we never receive a credit, but great to see the designs up at the show. 

I was in London last week over the Bank Holiday weekend and saw this amazing shop L Cornelissen & son, Artists' Colourmen, at 105A Great Russell St, between the British Museum & Tottenham Court Rd.

I just had to go in, it's a charming, old fashioned looking shop that has been trading since 1855, full of jars of pigments, paints, brushes and all the other art supplies you can think of.

I particularly loved the numbered  drawers of gouache, watercolour tubes & pans, fantastic stuff!

They are not totally preserved in the Victorian age however and do sell online, although part of the charm must be to buy there and then..

We are pleased to announce that Rafale is taking part in Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, The Netherlands later this year. Our group has taken a booth in the Evolution show which runs parallel and specialises in surface design.

Hope to see you there!

Our Easter samples are arriving, just in time, the kids are going to love these! Well done Hilary and Jean!!
