A press. A craft worth keeping.

In 2010, William bought a Heidelberg platen press. This began Archivist’s mission to rejuvenate British letterpress printing.

People, ink and paper.

The studio team operates the presses, bringing ink and paper together. The appeal of this craft is its texture as well as its colour.

Something to see. Something to feel.

Letterpress presses the design into the paper, leaving a delicate impression. Look closely and explore the character of the print.

05 / A FAMILY BUSINESS, A WORLD OF IDEAS

From the archives.
Into your everyday.

Historical images,
with a new life.

Founded by William and Sarah Allardice, this British family business began with inspiration from the Natural History Museum archives. By collecting, discovering and collaborating with artists worldwide, it brings vintage imagery and contemporary illustration into everyday life.

We love the way thoughtful design becomes something useful. In a little Hong Kong home, or as a gift for a friend, every piece can express its own personality.

ARCHIVIST / BRAND TEAM

FOR YOU. FOR SOMEONE LOVELY.

A small gift.
A lovely thought.

Start with an illustrated box,
and choose something a little different for your everyday.
