In the bustling realm of online art, few brands have made as swift and impactful an entrance as Mala Art Co.
The brainchild of the trio behind Durham-based social media agency, The Social Co, and twin artists, The Rocks Brothers, Mala Art Co is taking the e-commerce art world by storm, capturing the essence of luxury art and making it accessible to the masses.
Recognising the potential of digitalising the Rocks Brothers’ originals—masterpieces which often sell for thousands of pounds — Phil Sutcliffe, James Ogilvie and Kane Haig of The Social Co decided to join forces with the duo to offer the pieces as affordable printed canvases, complemented by bespoke floating frames.
The brand has enjoyed meteoric growth within its first 18 months, boosted by its association with influential ambassadors such as Olivia Bowen and KJG Home.
Come the end of 2023, art aficionados can witness their collection at the esteemed Ideal Home Show in London. And for an 18-month-old company to garner mentions from elite publishers like Vogue, the trajectory is evident.
The company’s ambition shines brighter than ever, with plans to raise funds for an explosive 2024, targeting a threefold surge in turnover. Their retail presence is also burgeoning, with prestigious placements in retail giant, Fenwick.
Director, Phil Sutcliffe, beams with pride as he reflects on their journey: “We are extremely happy with our progress in our first 18 months of trading.
“To already have featured in online publishers such as Vogue and to be working alongside some of the most well-known home interior influencers on the planet is a credit to the work the team has put in so far, already cementing us as one of the most popular printed art companies in the UK.
“In 2024, we look to further expand our team, collaborate with more artists to bring more collections, and who knows, maybe we can see the launch of some new products. It’s a very exciting time for Mala Art Co.”
