Switch Scene - New magnetic paint system

I cant recall how many times we have been asked about a painted magnetic solution. So it is with some relief that we have discovered a paint system that has the strength to work with one or two coats.

Called 'Switch Scene' by The wallpaper mural company - it allows for overpainting and has green credentials.

MagScapes will review and post all findings - if it is as good as we hope - we will bring the Switch Scene products to our showroom in London.

Graham & Brown Designs - available from MagScapes

Well time has come for MagScapes to sell Graham & Brown: Wallcoverings, Wall Art, Decofun kids range. It all began when we were cross promoting the now classic Frames wallcovering - it was an ideal design for our MS Plus Liner.

I look forward to seeing more ideas on combining magnets with G&B designs.

DIY Wallpaper - and why not magnets too?

Recession crunch is bringing out the DIY in many - here is an enterprising outfit in London that teaches people to make their own wallpaper.

More to be found at The Paper Parlour

We say, if you are going to make the wallpaper - why stop there - add MS Plus Liner to your wall and make a few magnets too!

New high power magnets

So we have finally sourced these unusual magnets:
- tall cylinders with 45 degree taper (ideal for easy grab and positioning)
- the jeweller heavy chrome magnet (a bit of bling in the world of magnets)

PULL™ Magnetic Fixtures

A cool design range of strong magnetic accessories. not cheap but super strong.

How Pull™ was Developed
The genius of Pull™ occurred during a design build engagement for our client Hobo Bag International. The founder Tony Ray said to us, “please, whatever you do, do not use slat wall and the Puck System, I can’t stand either one of those systems!”. So with that as inspiration, Pull™ was born.

Jeweller's Bling...

Found a new and odd type of magnet...

It is used by those 'cash your gold' jewellers to sift through various metals and sift out the cheaper ferrous materials.

I think it is rather beautiful - and would work great as a placeholder for presentations or charts on a wall - using our MS Plus wallcoverings beneath of course. 

Will provide an update when we get it in stock...
