Richard Merritt artwork for Le Sirenuse hotel, Positano

Presents have arrived at The Org HQ in the form of this gorgeous little book from one of Europe’s most exclusive luxury hotels, Le Sirenuse! Nestled on the hills of Positano, on Italy’s stunning coast, this hotel offers unrivalled views and first class hospitality. For their new season, they asked our artist, Richard Merritt, to create some unique artwork for their guests to colour in as they relax and unwind. Knowing that Richard has taken the colouring book world by storm, they just had to have him! The books are given to all guest rooms, and this one, with its rich red cover, is the honeymoon edition, and features 7 beautiful illustrations of Positano and scenes from the hotel itself. A big thank you goes out to Angel Publicity who made this happen, and as it rains down in London, we just wish we were all packing our bags and heading to Le Sirenuse!
