CREATING NEW GENRES OF CAFE SIGNS

STYLE OUTSHINES
It’s easy to taste the allure of new splashes of fashionista design trends… they instantly appeal, sugar coated, transient, beautiful, and are just plain yummy eye candy, nay addictive!
… yep we all love the odd splash of colour and unexpected pure gold.

Finding clients a lasting edge
Today, almost instantly, uber sweetened design styles become meteoric, and over saturated.
With Insta and Tic Tok coverage everything is ‘out of the bag’ and so last years spam.
As a product designer for 20 years my job was to tap into new design trend: walking the floors of Paris, NY, Canton, Frankfurt, Milan and home turf UK design fairs in order to coherently barometer and table reports on new trend, and what’s happening in the industry.
It was my job coming out of very traditional training ground of a fine art degree, to become a turnkey retail trend development specialist.
To take a view of the manufacturing design field globally, specifically for manufacturers, importers and large retail groups such as Habitat, Crate and Barrel and Next – annual ranges that would out-last competition, and set new strategic trends, based on the constant-flow of design DNA.
That’s why when you come to Seraina signs, you get a chunk of the cake, and huge slice of the opportunity.
Our strategic, winning edge.
“Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. ” — Iris Apfel.
Graphic design fell into categories of sharp fashion, right through the growing ranges into the historical archival alphabets, which were birthed in deep antiquity (200 BC), to mid century and the more recognisable modern day brand design era (1905 – London Underground – Frank Pick influence).
These timeless ‘influencers’ literally shaped mine and many fine lettering artists lives.
Today those lives and shapes are presented here. Reflective, gracious, and time honoured… yet always convergent, dipped in freshness of London’s future trends and styles.
