This summer Pomegranate is welcoming some great new additions to the designer gift-wrap range. Now sporting 22 stunning adaptations of old, new, famous and obscure designs the designer gift-wrap range has something for everyone.
Including works by artists such as Tiffany, William Morris and Gustav Klimt, plus a superb set of 5 designs from Frank Lloyd Wright, make this a range that is not to be missed. Fans of the Insect art of Christopher Marley won’t be disappointed either, there is a fun new design featuring his vivid, colourful insect photographs.
We’ve taken 4 of the most popular Frank Lloyd Wright gift-wrap designs and adapted them into a set of gift tags, which combined with the wrap give any gift that special, designer look. Available in a presentation box including 36 tags (9 each of 4 designs) this new set promises to be a hit with anyone with an eye for design and a taste for style.

"The artist whose work really appeals to my personal taste is Robert Bateman and the wonderful wildlife illustrations he captures on canvas.
The detail in his pictures is so accurate, you could almost reach out and touch the creature or bird he has painted. I love nature and he portrays nature at its very best."

"For me great art is not only a work, which immediately grabs your senses and shakes them up but one which endures. Those images that you go back to time and time again because you see or sense something different in the picture each time you look.
One artist who does this time and time again is Edward Hopper. At first his paintings may look a little empty, - but it is the expansive 'room' in his paintings which hold the enigmatic force of his work. He situates objects and characters in strange, isolated positions so that you make up the story of the image. Brilliant!"
-Ley Bricknell
Over the next few weeks I'll be getting some of the Pomegranate Europe staff to write about their favourite artists. We'll start off with mine....
"My taste in art is always changing as I’m exposed to such a variety working here at Pomegranate. I believe art needs to be interesting, whether it’s the image itself or the thoughts provoked by it. At the moment the artist I’m enjoying most is Escher. I find the optical illusions within his work keep me both entertained and puzzled. With the repeating, transforming patterns and never ending staircases you can really immerse yourself in the image and get lost in his disobedience to gravity and physics." - Dan (me)
Like Escher? Don't like Escher? Would like to say a few words on your own favourite artist? - Please don't hesitate to leave us a comment. - We love to hear your opinions on art.
Summer 2007 will see some great new additions to the Pomegranate range. Coming throughout June and July are 13 new sets of our best selling Boxed notecards, including works by Edward Hopper, Romare Bearden and Winslow Homer to name a few. Also in the launch are two sets of panoramic notecards, featuring beautiful artwork relating to the famous Wine making regions of California.
We’ve further extended our boxed postcard range, which now sports a stylish, classy, collectors title focusing on the album covers of Jazz saxophonist and composer, John Coltrane. Containing 20 postcards, this title now sits alongside our Crumb, Gorey, Frank Lloyd Wright and Judy Chicago postcard boxes to provide a constantly growing selection. The John Coltrane postcard set is also joined by 2 of our new postcard books, Covering Jazz and Covering Blues, which both focus on the most famous album covers of their respective musical genres.
An important new release for this season is our new set of Sacred Journey cards. A constant best selling calendar title is our Sacred Journey planner, which enlightens and inspires the user while encouraging their spiritual growth. This very popular title will soon be available in a set of greeting cards. The ability to send a little well-chosen, spiritual guidance or support to a friend or relative, on one of these beautiful cards will be useful for anyone with a connection to their spiritual feelings.
An old line to return to Pomegranate this summer is our mouse mat range. Featuring work by some of our most published artists, this previously discontinued range is back with a vengeance. The line currently holds over 15 titles, both new and re-worked, by artists such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Escher and Tiffany, not to mention Christopher Marley’s exquisite creatures design. We also re-worked the mouse mat pricing to fit in better with the UK and European market and have given each mat an individual backing board with some info on the artist / design.
Our Knowledge Card™ range has been expanded once again, with the addition of 7 new titles such as 2 shakes of a lamb’s tail, The Eco quiz deck, and the follow up to our top selling, movie quiz knowledge card deck. Great lines from great movies vol.2 promises to be an instant hit! We’ve taken the ever popular, timeless movie quiz from vol.1, and extended the range of questions to fill a whole new deck.
Further additions have been made to our designer gift-wrap range, making this a quickly expanding, extremely well received range, now containing 13 stunning designs. We also offer a free dump bin display unit on orders of 72+ rolls. The recent Frank Lloyd Wright additions from the last launch have now been adapted into gift tags, which will be available as a set, and fit perfectly with the rest of the designer gift-wrap range.
Almost all ranges have been expanded in this launch, new notecards, postcards, bookmarks, address books, jigsaw puzzles, notecard folios, Sierra Club nature photography products and much much more can be found throughout the launch.
