NORTH & COMMON / A SHORT HISTORY

The years
between.

A few turning points, a lot of good people. The story of a small studio that kept following its curiosity.

2014

One table. Two believers.

We started above a bookshop with two laptops, a borrowed table and a shared belief that thoughtful design could make everyday things better.

FIRST STUDIO / BRISTOL

2018

Finding our people.

An identity for the neighbourhood arts centre became a longer conversation about culture, community and the places we call our own.

A NEW CHAPTER / CULTURE & COMMUNITY

2022

A little more room.

A former print workshop gave us space to gather, experiment and invite our collaborators in. The kettle has rarely been cold since.

NEW HOME / THE PRINT ROOMS

2026

Still a work in progress.

Twelve years in, the team has grown and the questions have changed. Our favourite part is still the moment an idea starts to become something real.
