This has been central to the agency's growth, and it now covers typography, architecture, interior design, corporate branding, packaging, 3D graphics and web design. The agency took its name from the address of its original offices situated on Sedley Place adjacent to Oxford Street and Woodstock Street in London.[3] This street was named after Orlando Sedley, an 18th-century furniture maker who had his workshops located there. The agency relocated to its current offices in 1985 on Venn St, Clapham. Key projects
