About

Urban Graphic are a contemporary and design-led publisher of greeting cards and stationery.

We have been going strong since 2003 and supply many of the best retail shops and galleries in the UK. You can find us in Paperchase, Scribbler, Waterstones, The Tate Modern, The Design Museum, The V&A, Urban Outfitters, John Lewis, Selfridges & Co, Harrods &  many more, including some of the best and brightest independent stores around the world.

We are passionate about design and like to keep looking for new creative challenges, as we find sitting around a bit dull.  Everyone here is interested in every aspect of popular culture, and art in all its forms; from illustration to music, from fashion to film, with a stop for a pint or two on the way. This drive has lead us to be winners and nominees for numerous industry awards over the years.

Our company directors started out in retail which gave us a really useful insight into the 'commercial' side of design.  We're older and 'occasionally' wiser now but still really interested in retail and are launching an online shop in September 2011. We'll be selling everything from cameras to T-shirts and, like the blog, the product mix will reflect the personality of the Urban Graphic studio; it will come from an illustrative or graphic background and will only feature things we really love.

Future projects will see us continuing to collaborate with the many great artists that we've been lucky enough to work with, expanding out of the stationery market to create different product lines. We are also in the process of setting up our very own print studio so we can offer limited editions and original mono-prints of our designs. We have seen the future, and it is exciting (and a bit messy.)

We hope that you like what you see and if you'd like to work with us or just drop us a line to say hi, or to tell us something we should be looking at/listening to/visiting then feel free!
