008. CREATIVE COLLABORATION / RETAIL CURATION
In collaboration with @edinburghprintmakers , we commissioned local artist @maxmachen to create a series of bespoke illustrations, produced as prints for The Hoxton, Edinburgh.
A way to bring local talent into the space -
and let people leave with a piece of it.

“My younger self would be pretty chuffed that I’m an artist! I still pinch myself, that I can do this as a job. It’s a dream to be able to go to the studio and have the time to carry on playing, but now with a beard and a coffee.”
Art made to make you smile.
From village life and animal friends to bold, playful type, artist @maxymachen creates illustrations rich in character and charm. His work appears everywhere from Oatly and Vans to book covers, murals and textiles. Visit our website now to read our Q&A with Max and discover how a creative childhood inspires his work. You can also shop his Mini Editions collection now, link in bio.
