You and Me, The Royal We is a new line of work from Digby & Iona’s Aaron Ruff, author Oliver Jeffers, and animator Mac Premo. The work in this line consists of things the designers think are cool but don’t exist yet.

The map pictured above is a hand-drawn map by Oliver Jeffers that comes with black pins in addition to one red pin (for the current destination) and one blue pin (for the next target).

Published since 1960, the manuals include technical drawings of classic, vintage and sports cars such as the Morris Minor, Ford Capri, VW Camper, Porsche 911 and Mini. I think these are just so much fun and totally unexpected as wall decor or textiles, so they are sure to be a conversation piece.
