In the meantime, one commission below has been waiting for collection for ages, (I can now post it I’m told). One commission jetted its way to Tasmania to a client who has four Bh commissions already, but the beau has to pop the question. And finally on the weekend Janet Hogan, collected her new “bell earrings”, and added another commission to her tally . . .

His last 8 tracks come up on my iTunes ‘shuffle’ lots, his set of French copper saucepans are used every day. His last gift to me was a London printer’s coded contacts diary with every possible detail about sourcing, pricing and storage of metal, ink, paper and tools of the trade. He is still in our lives, daily . . . there is not a week goes by where an internet search for John collides with our viewer site

This design market has grown into a terrific event, so much so that it has now become a half-yearly sale. Many of our loyal commission clients who await our own studio sale can now swoop twice in the calendar year . . . not this weekend but the following Saturday from 9:00am–4:00pm. We hope to see you all there and yes internet requests are all possible (sooner than later).

Early design and strategy work from 1987 for Jonathan Sceats – Eyetech in Australia Saturday, May 25 2013
arresting human intelligence and Blogroll and malcolm enright bespoke, blogging, fashion, the good things, typography 6:33 pm
My wife Barbara Heath did titanium frame designs for Johno early on and we had numerous trips to Sydney, met Jean-Pierre, Susan and his partner Mark. As I always do I couldn’t help but ask pertinent questions about the marketing and the shape of his organisation . . . it ended up in my partnering with Johno to completely change-force his brand and in the end we managed to buy back his own name from N.Z. businessmen. His own signature became synonymous with his own products, the Jonathan Sceats brand was given the edge that he himself so naturally displayed. We went back into his own family history and seriously re-jigged it reflecting his own ‘Aussie-ness’ and his 3D love of the ‘skull’ element. Our marketing strategy was our product promise . . . gutsy stuff for 1987.
I posted this to my FB page on Friday night when there is not that much traffic, so here it is to all of our viewersite clients & friends, enjoy the history ride . . .
