Yumn is a casual luxury restaurant located within Croydon’s Boxpark, a pop-up mall for independent and global fashion and lifestyle stores, cafes and restaurants, housed within converted shipping containers. Yumn is a smaller and more intimate version of Yumn Brasserie with a similar approach to interior in its mix of blue pinned leather upholstered seating and high quality finishes, but shares something of Boxpark’s utilitarian build in its unpolished concrete walls, some of its fixtures and fittings and the industrial qualities of its brand identity, created by Brighton-based graphic design studio Filthymedia. This included menus and business cards, window graphics and signage.

Signet is a new pencil range developed by British home, outdoor and lifestyle retailer Pedlars, who applied their expertise to an own-brand product line following a lengthy international search for the perfect pencil. 100, the first of the Signet range and launched in November this year, is made from American basswood, finished in orange with a silver foil detail and crafted by a long-established family-run business in the Czech Republic.
Well Made Studio were given an open brief by Pedlars to select the pencil finish and develop a complementary visual identity and packaging treatment. Informed by modern typography from the mid-20th century with consideration given to future ranges, and using a bright orange board and white ink, the studio looked to create a solid and minimal solution that would stand out from what they describe as a market of fussy vintage-inspired competitors.
