TT-NT

An intriguing collaboration between Tithi Kutchamuch (product designer) and Nutre Arayavanish Jewelery designer has resulted in this intriguing work. 'The Birthday Ring' which is a series of birthday rings that resemble the birth flower of each month, they come in card form and are then folded into shape.

Patrick Benson


The wonderful illustrations of a fantastic book; 'The Sea-Thing Child' by Russell Hoban, illustrated by Patrick Benson. Patrick also illustrated the fantastic Minpins by Roald Dahl and Owl Babies by Martin Waddell. The Sea-Thing Child is one of my favourite modern children's books, with its subtle story and sumptuous illustrations.
