Husband and wife team James and Emma Emmerson have joined hands to create 1973, a design company bursting with creativity, energy and ideas that is focused around building strong and lasting relationships with all of their clients.
1973, the year James and Emma were born, came about through the desire to explore their own creative choices with designs that go beyond the constraints of corporate entities. After starting out on their journey in 2003 they have evolved constantly, creating fresh new ranges that take inspiration from cutting edge fashion and design - always placing an emphasis on using innovative materials and printing techniques.
The company has gone from 'strength to strength' and its products are now sold across the globe in 4 continents. In the UK they have established a strong customer base selling to lifestyle stores, independent card retailers and larger companies like The Conran Shop, Paperchase, Selfridges, The Design Museum and Urban Outfitters. From the originality and quality of their work 1973 have been commissioned to design and produce products for The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts, Paperchase, The Conran Shop, The Royal Landscape, Graham and Brown, Marie Claire and more lately we designed Groove Armada's latest album and single artwork.
1973 have licensed designs from Tado, Push Me Pull You, Catalina Estrada, Jon Burgerman, Josie Da Bank and the internationally famous eBoys bringing them great success. They have also successfully managed to license these designs, and their own, to various companies that range from international fashion stores to European and US stationary companies.
