Not long after their return home, Richard and Bryce hatched their next big move. Their ambitious idea was to persuade their eldest brother to lend them $17K for the purchase of a wide-format printer. They envisioned being able to produce canvas prints targeted at interior designers. Their numerous hotel stays had led them to realise that most establishments featured similar, tired artwork that would inevitably need updating. They believed the perfect solution was a selection of canvas prints curated by them. The concept seemed rock-solid!

Armed with a sleek and attractive brochure they’d put together, Richard ventured out to showcase their potential products. He started booking appointments with designers across the spectrum, spreading their vision far and wide.
