A year into running Studio Gardiner as a client-serving design practice, we ventured into creating our own products. Our aim was simple: make ethical, UK-manufactured products that are original, insightful, and fun. 

Our first project was a tea towel named ‘A Seasonal Guide to Fruit & Vegetables’. To our delight, it was a big hit, showing us there’s a real appetite for our blend of food and drink infographics in a quirky design.

Fast-forward 15 years, and we’ve got over 30 tea towel designs under our belt. We’ve kept the momentum going, always keeping an eye on the latest trends in the food and drink scene to inspire our new designs.
