Colony Room Green, 4 Heddon Street W1B 4BL

Ziggy Green opens its doors at 4 Heddon Street, London. The venue is a celebration of David Bowie on the ground floor and downstairs will be home to an inspired art installation and immersive bar – a recreation of Soho’s infamous arts and drinking den, the Colony Room Club.

We have been collaborating with renowned portrait photographer Brian David Stevens to produce six new portraits of artists, musicians and performers. The works will be exhibited early next year and the archival Black and white prints are a stunning addition to the venue.

The original Colony Room Club, founded in 1948 at 41 Dean Street by Muriel Belcher which bore witness to the greats of British society from Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud to Kate Moss and Damien Hirst, had a brief and controversial hiatus after its surprise closure in 2008. It has been meticulously recreated by former Colony Room Club member and YBA Darren Coffield, alongside the Daisy Green team. Coffield, author of ‘Tales from the Colony Room’ describes the project as “A love letter to London’s lost bohemia”.

C Type Professional Photo Printing

We have been printing the highest quality C-Type prints for decades and digital C-Types produced on our Lambda have the archival and tonal benefits of traditional photographic papers, with the advantages of digital photo printing. C-Types are a conventional photographic print from a digital file, and as such is the most suitable option when printing a colour photograph.

Fine Art Giclée Printing

We have Hahnemuhle and Canson Giclée Certified Studio staus and with over 30 years experience in photographic printing we use the most advanced inkjet technologies. Giclée is a gallery-quality inkjet print onto fine art watercolour paper. This is most suitable for art illustrations, but can also be used for colour and B&W photographs.

Metro called it Direct to Media. Essentially this is a UV printing machine that can produce very large, up to 3m x 2m prints on any flat material less than 10cm thick. So we can print on wood, metal, slate and pretty much anything you can think of.

To ensure your material is suitable, we can print test prints around A4 in size.

This is a print on adhesive vinyl. The vinyl is on a roll and 1.2m wide, but it can printed in multiple pieces in order to cover a wall.

Vinyl Printing

Vinyl Phototex is chosen for its high-quality Giclée finish as well as its ease of application to wall or mounting material due to its self-adhesive properties. We can print on vinyl using our direct to media printer, in strips of 1.5m x 3m and these can be applied to the wall in the fashion of wallpaper to cover a complete wall or interior.
