The Drum featured our design of E’ON’s ‘onenergy’ magazine on their website today. The magazine is targeted at Members of Parliament and provides client’s views on energy policy and updates on E.ON’s UK business. You can read all about it on the Drum’s website.
You couldn’t miss the trailer we recently designed for E.ON. They’ve been out and about in it giving the general public advice on how to lower energy bills this winter. We created an interactive outdoor game to attract passers-by and have also produced an online version of it. You can have a go yourself here.
Senior Campaign Officer in E.ON’s Customer PR Team, says: “We gave Michon a difficult brief and they embraced the challenge and worked closely with us to create an engaging and inviting way to communicate this advice. We’re delighted with the end result.”
What could be better than a cup of fresh coffee and a biscuit? Well, how about a coffee in an edible biscuit cup? First you drink the coffee then you eat the cup! This delicious treat is the creation of Venezuelan designer Enrique Luis Sardi and Italian coffee giant Lavazza. The cup is made from pastry with a special icing sugar, which acts as an insulator and also makes it waterproof, so thankfully you don’t have to worry about your cup disintegrating!
The Cookie Cup makes washing-up a thing of the past!

We’re chuffed to bits to have been awarded silver in the ‘Best Interiors’ category at the Roses Design Awards, held on the 23rd of October. The award will take pride of place on our bookcase in studio, alongside our Nottingham Creative Business Award that we won earlier in the month.
The Roses Design Awards are open to any organisations outside of London, so it’s a big compliment to have our office do so well. And another good excuse for a little celebration!
We know it isn’t the time of year to be thinking of keeping cool, but this beautiful new piece of design by Dyson has certainly caught our eye. The Dyson Air Multiplier™ is designed to generate smooth, uninterrupted airflow with no buffeting and to top it off, it looks stunning. Hopefully we will be putting our order in soon.

We think these magnetic curtains by Florian Kräutli are brilliant. You can push and pull them into any shape you like, allowing you to create a real statement at your windows.
