Leading manufacturers, Atkinson & Kirby and Richard Burbidge have partnered with Manchester design house, BOBO1325, to launch a trend-led styling collection to promote timeless maximalism, sustainability and eco-conscious living spaces.

With a shared commitment to sustainability and premium design, hardwood flooring brand Atkinson & Kirby and sister brand Richard Burbidge, supplier of stairparts, decorative mouldings, and decking accessories, have joined forces with BOBO1325. This award-winning design house, based in Manchester, will collaborate with them to launch a new maximalism-inspired styling collection under the banner of ‘Bold’.

BOBO1325, founded by designer Beth Travers, is celebrated for its innovative maximalist wallpaper collections. Together, BOBO1325, Atkinson & Kirby and Richard Burbidge embark on a creative journey to inspire designers and homeowners to elevate their living spaces with bold, vibrant, and sustainable interior design.

“Offering sustainable and responsibly sourced products is at the forefront of what we do,” said Josh Burbidge, managing director of Archwood Group. “Combining this ethos with design conscious and trend-led collections is incredibly important to us, so BOBO1325 seemed like the perfect brand to partner with.

“The hope of this collection is that it will help designers pick the perfect products for their projects. Our hardwood flooring, stairparts and mouldings can last many years, as many trends come and go. Partnering with BOBO1325 means customers can easily see what products match their home and give rooms a new lease of life in an eco-conscious way.”

Both Archwood Group brands and BOBO1325 share a profound commitment to sustainability. Archwood actively participates in the United Nations Race to Zero campaign, dedicated to lowering global emissions. Meanwhile, BOBO1325 stands out for its intricate hand-drawn designs, meticulously crafted using sustainable materials and eco-friendly practices. These designs are brought to life just 20 miles from its Manchester-based studio, printed on FSC certified papers using eco inks.

“This is the perfect partnership to encourage customers to embrace mixing textures, patterns, and tones, naturally elevating their interior spaces and curating visually captivating designs that allow their style and personality to shine through,” said Beth Travers, BOBO1325 founder. “I'm enthusiastic about colour and pattern and hope that, together, the Archwood Group and I can inspire confidence sustainably.”
