Love and work are the cornerstone of our humanity, Sigmund Freud said.

The paradox of happiness is that the more we pursue it, the more it slips from our grasp in self-absorbed defeat.

Instead, as Freud said, true happiness comes in love and work, devoting oneself to things that are bigger than ourselves.

If you're not sometimes having fun on the job, you're doing it wrong 😉

Lifestyle shoot for featuring their newest piece of furniture, the Oystercatcher bedside table.

These days, we are more than used to seeing lifestyle photoshoots on the beach. But have you ever seen a bedside table make its way down to the ocean to catch the sunset?

Named after the African Oystercatcher, whose red beak and feet make this seabird a distinctive part of the Cape Peninsula coastline, the Oystercatcher bedside table’s drawer handle and legs are distinctly birdlike.

Illustrations are a great way to lend personality to a brand identity and make your business website more engaging and memorable. Combined with great copy, they can add sparkle and zing to your messaging, really bringing it to life.

They're also an effective solution when your business isn't naturally image led, such as a service-oriented business like a consultancy. Better still, they avoid those super cringy stock images (think corporate high five circles 🤢 or people drawing graphs in boardrooms 🙊); wow, the world does not need more of those!

On this website for , we worked with illustrator .maginley whose gorgeous bright colour palette and quirky characters work so well with the fun and punchy copy and the handwriting typefaces. A match made in heaven and a website people just love ❤️
