Eimear Friers – I wanted my box to be designed in a way that would look at home in the shop; with an aesthetic that echoed the past. Taxidermy specimens in Norfolk School box cases inspired my design which is a minature landscape containing a mini Sthephen Smyth (in a Barbour jacket of course) inside the box. For me, one of the most memorable things about Smyth’s is Stephen and it seemed approriate, therefore that he would feature in my design. The exterior is stained rather than painted, enhancing the natural grain of the wood and the checked pattern resembles traditional Barbour tweed.
