Tobyboo brings you quintessentially British home-ware. Central St Martin’s-trained designer Tina Crawford creates artful and nostalgic British cushions, blankets, tea sets and wallpaper. Tobyboo’s unique design and production process makes every piece look like a one-off embroidered work. This beautiful British imagery is captured by Tina’s imaginative eye.

Embroidery is transformed to print, enabling it to decorate anything from ceramics to sticky tape. Each design is free embroidered, no pencils or markings just the needle of the machine and a controlling hand. “I love working in such a free way, mistakes result in working embellishment. It’s a way of working that really evolved for me after years of different techniques”

Oranges & Lemons illustrates the traditional song. The six London churches are literally sewn together to create

this beautiful range of home-ware.

Fine bone china, made in Stoke (obviously), screen-printed tea towels that are 100% GB-made and zesty cushions that would

bring life to any living space.

“I am drawn to stories, my surroundings and loves – Oranges & Lemons brings together all three. To

illustrate such a well known song and show the churches sung about that just happen to be in London, which is

my home town and lifetime’s love”
