Bursting into the design arena a mere two years ago, Container has enraptured clients and peers alike with their multi-layered, detailed illustration work. Digit spoke to the dynamic creative duo to find out more...

An infectious enthusiasm for art and design, plus the ability to fuse illustration to photography and even moving image, marks Container out as one of the studios to watch in the coming year. </p> <p> What it doesn’t convey is Container’s eclectic array of work – and its ability to inject beauty through imperfection. The duo have worked on everything from editorial commissions, shop window displays, and exhibitions, to decorating Lab Cafe for Selfridges in London and creating the visual identity of MTV show Lush (which you can view on Digit’s cover CD). </p> <p> And even though Container was only fully formed in the early part of 2003, the past three years has seen it develop a unique and highly demanded style. </p> <p> <h2>Squirrels in bikinis</h2> </p> <p> <div class=inlineimage><img src= Print
