This beautifully crafted piece is a tribute to the enduring relationship between innovation and tradition. Each letter of this profound statement from Jane Jacobs is meticulously pressed into premium, British-made recycled paper, offering a tactile experience that digital prints cannot match.
Jane Jacobs was an American-Canadian journalist and author. She spent her life keeping cities relevant to their citizens and writing books about urban development. Although we're based in rural Devon, the quote seemed like the absolute right thing to have as our first poster in our new-to-us workshop at Tor Royal Farm.
