Welcome to our Cabinet of Curiosities – a collection of some of the weird and wonderful things we find on our travels … it’s a splendidly random place to start when you’re looking for inspiration for new ideas...

In Rennaisance Europe, the Cabinet of Curiosities (also known as cabinets of wonder, or wonder rooms) held collections of as yet undefined objects.

Innovators, artists and scientists look at the world around them in remarkably similar ways … they observe, they collect, they analyse, then they compare and notice patterns.

Fundamentally we’re all insatiable collectors of things and ideas…
