Mr. Jago project

 

Deadgood vs. Mr. Jago

 

We recently unveiled the results of an exclusive

new collaboration with Bristol based urban artist

Mr. Jago, in which he has applied his pioneering

‘doodle’ style of illustration to our award winning

Form: Stool. The series of hand painted

products was recently unveiled at own regional

design exhibition ‘Launch’, alongside a one off

installation by the artist himself.

 

We are currently working closely with Mr. Jago

to develop his drawings into a digital format and

create a limited edition collection of furniture.

We're hoping that this unique project will form

the basis of a series of collaborations with some

of the world’s leading urban artists.

 

Mr. Jago is considered by many as a veteran of

the urban art and design scene, having worked

with some of the biggest international brands

around including Nike, Puma and Sprite. In the

last six years his signature scrawl has graced

everything from clothing to skateboards and his

work is something of a permanent landmark on

the shop fronts of Bristol. His distinctive

freehand style and superb eye for colour have

helped him gain international respect among his

contemporaries, where he has earned the right

to be talked about in the same breath as some

of his own heroes.

 

Elliot comments, “The relationship between the

art and design worlds really interests us, not

only do we have a personal interest in this style

of graphic art but we’re also interested in the

crossover appeal between the genres. We’re

really excited about how this project is

developing and aim to try and bring the design

industry and the urban art movement together.”
