The cream of the creative workspaces

Design influence

If you’re looking for creative inspiration, there are arguably few better sources of what’s hot and what’s not in the design world than Design Milk. We think it’s pretty cool, anyway! An online magazine with its finger firmly on the design pulse, Design Milk is a one-stop shop for all that’s new in art, architecture, interiors, furniture, fashion and technology. Keen to spread the design love, the magazine has run some great reader giveaways in its time, too.

The latest competition sees Design Milk teaming up with New York-based Kaufmann Mercantile, who've donated a whole bunch of accessories, and eco-friendly furniture makers Environment, whose gorgeous desk would be a fantastic addition to any workspace. Jaime Derringer, Founder and Executive Editor, has also specially designed a suite of MOO stationery as part of the ‘essential office’ on offer to one lucky winner.

Keeping it simple

The focus of the giveaway is on the meeting of style and functionality, and Jaime has made every effort to bring this out in the Luxe Letterheads, MiniCards and Postcards she’s created. “Design Milk’s brand is very distinct, so I wanted these new pieces to really reflect that. I used black and white for a modern, minimalist look and created a complementary set of Postcards using my own artwork,” she says.

Jaime feels a well-designed suite of stationery is a crucial addition to any working environment. Not only does it signal professionalism, but it’s a pretty good way to make a client feel all warm and fuzzy inside. “Nothing feels more special than receiving a handwritten letter or thank you note in the mail – especially these days, when it’s a rarity," she says. "You tend to appreciate and value those businesses who take the time to write a note instead of shooting off an email.” We couldn’t agree more!

On the horizon

We’ve seen some inspiring creations come through our printers from Design Milk over the past few years, and they tell us they’re now planning to make some Flyers and Luxe Postcards for an upcoming exhibition. Brimming with ideas and design finds from around the world as they are, we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

Feeling creative? Why not add a touch of style to your communications with some bespoke Luxe stationery?
