For Christmas we have found you five pieces of beautiful inspiration with a festive theme. We hope you enjoy them.

At Coley Porter Bell we believe in making brands beautiful. Beautiful brands are based on a beautiful truth. They stand out from the crowd, they play on your mind and leave a lasting impression.They are beautifully thought, beautifully realised and beautifully effective.

We hope you all have a beautiful Christmas and New Year.

With our best wishes for 2010

beautifully dressed for christmas: Luella Bartley, Liberty’s

This year, the beautifully eclectic department store Liberty has teamed up
with British designer Luella Bartley to create a unique take on British
Christmas traditions. With a giant tinsel robin and traditional patriotic
scenes of living rooms over-decorated with paper chains, Christmas cards
and tacky decorations, this window display is guaranteed to get you in
the Christmas spirit… well worth a look if you can brave Regent Street
this year!

technology: Beauty can be functional - 3 pin folding plug

‘Mac book Air,’ Apple’s latest master-piece, is the world’s thinnest laptop ever. However, here in the U.K, we still use the world’s biggest and bulkiest three-pin plug. Most people carry laptops with adapters and plugs because laptop batteries have a limited life. However, despite the huge demand for small, streamlined products, the bulky UK 3-pin plug has been overlooked by designers until now. Is Min-kyu Choi’s design the end to travelling with heavy laptop bags, huge adapters and bulky multi-plugs?

Here is our July edition of 5 Beautiful things .

At Coley Porter Bell we believe in making brands beautiful. Beautiful brands stand out from the crowd, they inspire,  leaving a lasting impression. Beautiful brands are desirable, powerful, valuable. But none of this would be achievable if it wasn’t for the everyday beauty that surrounds us and inspires our creativity.

Every month we share ‘5 beautiful things’ which have inspired the team here at Coley Porter Bell, and we hope they will do the same for you.

These beautiful photographs are a sample of some of the inspiring work
by photographer Elena Kalis who specialises in underwater photography.
She uses colour, light and space to create dream-like images which are
not just visually striking, but also emotionally stirring. If you would like to
see more of her work please visit her website; www.elenakalisphoto.com

Work such as this proves how evolutions in technology can have a really
positive impact on creativity… it will be interesting to see what the
future brings!

At Coley Porter Bell we believe in making brands beautiful. Beautiful brands are based on a beautiful truth. They stand out from the crowd, they play on your mind and leave a lasting impression. We wanted to share with you the things that inspire us as we make brands beautiful, the things that drive our thinking.

This is the new edition of our monthly ‘5 beautiful things’. January can feel a little dreary, and perhaps this year even more so…..but we hope this collection of beautiful things goes someway to addressing that.

Enjoy!
