We are excited to announce our partnership with chef Tom Barnes on his new restaurant, Skof, which opened in May 2024 – with a vision to create an unpretentious yet ambitious dining experience in the NOMA district of Manchester.

 

Sustainability Spotlight: Treehouse, London

We recently had the pleasure of exploring Treehouse, London, a hotel that seamlessly blends playful nostalgia with environmental consciousness. Since its inception, Treehouse has been meticulously designed to minimise waste while evoking a sense of whimsy. Notably, the hotel’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its choice to repurpose wood from the packaging used during construction for its interior decor.

This dedication extends to small yet impactful details like using wooden business cards and door hangers, reducing paper waste while creating lasting brand impressions. With its cosy ambiance and nods to childhood memories, Treehouse invites guests to experience the outdoors indoors, fostering a sense of comfort and connection.

We’ve moved into the Leather Market!

We’re delighted to share the news that we have relocated our studio hub to The Leather Market in Bermondsey, London. This exciting move provides our Flock with a much bigger open-plan studio space that meets the needs of our collaborative and flexible working style.

Based in the vibrant heart of Bermondsey, The Leather Market has a rich heritage as a former tannery, the building exudes character, making it the perfect spot to spark our creativity and innovation as designers. We also can’t wait to venture out into the buzzing neighbourhood filled with contemporary culture and some great new foodie spots to uncover.

Flock Day Out: Christmas Party

In December, we gathered to toast to a year of hard work and creativity. Our celebration took us to The Alchemist in Battersea, a venue belonging to one of our esteemed clients. The festivities began with a captivating cocktail-making workshop, setting the tone for an evening filled with lively games and a delicious three-course meal.

As we raise our glasses, here’s to another year of creativity, collaboration and craft awaiting us in 2024!

Food for thought

Chladni plates were part of our reference and inspiration for the Noxe visual identity. These plates can visualise sound; the plate is dusted with a material in order to see the patterns, such as flour, sand, or salt. Next, the plate is excited by drawing a violin bow across the side of the plate until it reaches resonance. When the plate is excited, some areas vibrate and some areas don’t move.
