The Attik

Thinkers, creatives and exceptional individuals at every level, we are brand engineers. We guide and are guided by the big world. This is our small world.

Soon after graduating from Batley School of Art in 1986, Simon Needham and James Sommerville together founded ATTIK in their hometown of Huddersfield, England. With a grant from the Prince’s Trust and a good deal of ambition, James and Simon set up shop in an attic bedroom in the house of James’ grandmother – the very room the company would be named after. They bought themselves the then-revolutionary Apple Mac and set about evolving the design sensibility that would eventually gain them a trip to Buckingham Palace.

Multistorey

Multistorey is a London based design studio consisting of the core partnership of Harry Woodrow and Rhonda Drakeford, with designer Joe Harris.

They work across an unlimited range of media and industries, but the one element that is consistent throughout our work is the importance of ideas, coupled with quality of production.

Each project is approached as a new challenge which is reacted to in a wholly specific manner and above all as something to have fun with - to them a ‘house style’ is the polar opposite of creativity.

Touch and feel is an integral part of their work, and one which the cold confines of your monitor will never fully illustrate.
