Birthday Box Greetings Card by Bureau Alice for 1973

Nineteen Seventy Three was founded in Brighton in 2003 by Emma and James Emmerson, and named after the year they were both born. Inspired by a shared love of cool design and typography, Emma and James collaborate with talented illustrators and designers to create contemporary designs that incorporate both cutting-edge and traditional printing techniques, such as letterpress printing on vintage Heidelberg’s and hand-stitched book bindings. James has a passion for print, typography and stationery design, and is constantly busy devising new and ingenious ways to manufacture environmentally friendly, fully recyclable high-end stationery pieces from the 1973 workshop in Portslade. Emma is the creative force behind Nineteen Seventy Three, and designs her own collections under the name Emma Cooter as well as predicting new trends and finding new talent, keeping Nineteen Seventy Three ahead of the curve in an often-crowded marketplace. Alongside their own brand, they also print, manufacture and distribute designs from wonderfully talented brands from across the globe such as Egg Press, Rifle Paper Co, Carolyn Suzuki, Sukie, Cut & Make and more.
