Bespoke stationery for Nineteen Seventy Three
Nineteen Seventy Three
Since our early days of working with paper products, we have collaborated with the UK-based brand Nineteen Seventy Three. Founded in 2003 by Emma and James Emmerson—both born in 1973, the company began at their kitchen table, driven by a shared love of design and typography. Over the years, their brand has flourished, maintaining an unwavering commitment to originality and quality.
At their Brighton-based factory, where so many beautiful cards originate, the team meticulously screen print, letterpress, and craft their products to an exceptional standard. The result? High-end creations that we are incredibly proud to share.
Our latest collaborative collections include French Twist, Sparkle & Spin, Columbia Road, Spitalfields Market, Buon Natale, and Joyeux Noël. Each series is inspired by distinct themes, allowing for diverse visual exploration and total creative freedom.
Stationery is our second language
The French Twist series was born from our love of all things French, iconic style, timeless fashion, and the effortless charm of Gainsbourg, Bardot, and Birkin. Picture the streets of Paris on an early May morning: a beige trench coat, a baguette tucked under your arm, café tables draped in red-and-white checkered cloths, and the aroma of fresh coffee and croissants filling the air. A perfect little mental escape!
This collection features 18 carefully designed cards, printed on lush, coloured paper and letter-pressed with rich foils for added impact. The flirty yet classic French phrases bring their own unique charm, ensuring your message is delivered with 100% style.
The Columbia Road series was born from our deep affection for our favorite city—London. Years ago, we spent many Sundays wandering down this bustling street, home to one of the city's most beloved markets. We’d browse vintage treasures, rare books, and armfuls of vibrant flowers, completely immersed in its charm.
Inspired by botanical posters and nature’s exquisite herbarium, we designed this collection of 16 cards in our signature color palette. Each card showcases the name of the depicted plant in both English and Latin, thoughtfully paired with a heartfelt greeting.
The Spitalfields Market series is the latest addition with its 12 cards, extending the botanical universe of Columbia Road. While it shares the same visual concept, this series shifts the focus from plants to fruits. We wanted the cards to feel lush, with playful color combinations that truly come to life through high-quality printing.
Enjoy!
Every time we get the chance to illustrate Christmas, we’re in our element! For this collaboration, we’ve added two festive card series: Buon Natale and Joyeux Noël.
Buon Natale brings a decorative flair, while Joyeux Noël takes a cue from our French Twist collection, featuring stylish typography that celebrates the season’s most beloved and iconic phrases.
The two series complement each other beautifully—perfect for both the minimalist and the maximalist holiday decorator.
Through our card designs, we aim to encourage sharing life's spontaneous messages more often
