As noted here, we're working with Tomas Klassnik and OKAY studio to create the interior of our new workspace at 72 Rivington Street. It was great to see the first batch of wood land at the OKAY workspace today; and a set of images has been created at Flickr to chart the progress of the project in coming months. See it here.

We've been working with ico design on in-store graphics for the colourful new Snog stores in Central London. Giedre Domzaite has created some fantastic large format wall artwork, shortly to be unveiled - while Jamie Brown has helped apply some type to the store's shutters in Soho - captured above in yesterday's thelondonpaper.

We met today with Fedrigoni to discuss possible projects, including the supply of paper for the next issue of Ideas Illustrated magazine. The company have opened a great new London showroom to which designers are invited to visit; and make use of free meeting space, coffee and internet access. A series of installations, events and other such happenings in the space are currently in the planning - and if you'd like to pop by the address can be found here.

On 27th November designers are invited to bring something they've recently made, and that's printed on Fedrigoni stock, to the space for the chance to win a cash prize. The evening starts from 6pm and, again, all are welcome. Above is an image, by William Hall, used as part of the evening's promotion.

YCN has moved!... to new premises on London's Rivington Street; a three storey warehouse building in which we will now add a showroom and retail element to our existing studio set up (which itself will expand in the space over time). We're lucky to be working with Tomas Klassnik and OKAY studio on our interiors and furniture, all of which is being created for the space - a process which will be charted visually here, and commencing shortly.

A new location means new stationary and for this we're working with Jennie Hancock. Jennie's response to our brief sees the new letterheads, notepads, envelopes and other bits double up as a canvas on which to showcase individual designers and illustrators available to commission through YCN. The reverse of all elements will carry a digitally printed monotone artwork, and a credit for its originator. Shown is a reverse by Andrew Clark, and if you've a piece of work (existing or specially created) that you'd like to see included please feel free to email it over as there's no limit to how many we can use.

The book will be available online from the middle of next month.
