Ohh Deer Unveils Natural History Museum CollaborationOhh Deer Unveils Natural History Museum Collaboration

Ohh Deer, the U.K.-based design brand, has launched a collection in collaboration with the Natural History Museum. The range, which includes a mix of greeting cards, vibrant art prints and postcards, takes inspiration from the Museum’s vast collection and transforms it into a fresh, fun and contemporary offering.

Having previously worked with the Museum’s retail buying team, the Museum’s licensing team approached Ohh Deer about collaborating, to produce a funny card range.

“The Natural History Museum has always been my favorite museum thanks to my parents taking me there when I was young and going on many drawing trips during my Illustration Course whilst at Kingston University,” says Mark Callaby, co-founder, managing director, Ohh Deer. “So when the Museum approached us about this opportunity we were just as keen to collaborate. We definitely thought that we’d have to jump some hurdles with the type of humor we wanted to apply to the range, but the teams at the Museum wanted to see our brand shine through. These products really stand out and will look great on the shelves of many stockists.”

The product range has been curated by Jamie Mitchell, co-founder, creative director, Ohh Deer and his product team.

“This range has been especially fun to work on because the Museum really allowed us to bring the fun elements of our brand into the collaboration,” says Mitchell. “I’ve always been fascinated by dinosaurs, so working with the Natural History Museum, who are known as the home of dinosaurs, has been brilliant.”

“Through our collaboration with the incredible Ohh Deer, we have put a fresh twist on the historical illustrations we have tucked away in the Museum’s archives,” says Maxine Lister, head, licensing, the Natural History Museum. “Together, we’ve had fun reimagining them as humorous and colorful products that will allow younger generations to share in the wonder of both the Museum’s collections and the natural world in a whole new way.”

The full range will be displayed at all the tradeshows that Ohh Deer is attending from January. Including Top Drawer London and Spring Fair Birmingham. Wholesale pre-orders for the range start = Dec. 6, with stock displayed from January.
