Loo Prints - Hand Finished Wooden Loo Seats

09/10/2008 Make your Loos a Winner!

This week sees the launch of a new and exciting business for Patrick and Nina Robinson from Horncliffe near Berwick upon Tweed. Their company Looprints specialise in the ultimate home makeover - your loo seat. Banished from the smallest room in the house are the boring and functional seats that wouldn't lift an eyelid. This Borders / North Northumberland enterprise has started production of a personalized and very special product that will have you visiting the bathroom just to look!

Each wooden loo seat with imagery on both the lid and the seat is an example of beautiful hand-finished craftsmanship. There are a choice of over 30 different designs, with artwork from some of the country's best known artists and cartoonists including Bryn Parry and Henry Brewis. There is something in the range for everyone, with themes from animals and butterflies, gardeners and ladies who lunch. There are seats which will accommodate the admiring attention of the rugby fan, the golfer, the farmer, the hunter and the shooter. For those who want to get event more personal, you can have your own personalised seat, featuring, you, your partner, your pet, parents or your Porsche!

Patrick Robinson, of Looprints is very excited about this new venture and sees enormous potential for brightening up this everyday essential object. \"The loo is usually the last object in people's living space to receive any consideration, but there is no reason why it should be purely functional. There are some fantastic designs both humorous and stylish and we have already received many enquiries for people wanting to purchase them as wedding, birthday and Christmas presents\".

Patrick also sees the opportunities for corporate companies to improve their brand awareness through incorporating company imagery into their loo facilities. \"Businesses are always seeking to make their mark and raising brand awareness. Now they can lift their profile both through their letterheads and on their loos seats.

Whether your loo is for business or domestic use, these hand-finished seats are available to order on-line from Looprints, priced at 85 each for stocked items. Special commissions are undertaken, and these are priced from 125. Phone orders and enquiries can be made on 01289 386688. You could be sitting on your very own personalised throne within seven days!

Christmas is coming and people are also beginning to wake up to the need to provide Christmas gifts that are a bit different in the very near future. With that in mind, Looprints are hoping anxious present buyers will greet these fun ideas for gifts with a happy Halle-loo-jah!
