Explore the NORF SARF collection by Real Hackney Dave (Dave Buonaguidi). Real Hackney Dave's NORF SARF artworks are split between one-off originals and limited edition runs. The vintage maps lend a unique and personal touch to each piece—no two maps are ever quite the same - while the reproductions capture the feel and vibe of the originals, offering a more accessible price point, while being part of an exclusive edition. Whether an original or part of a limited edition, every piece is meticulously hand-printed in Dave’s studio, making each artwork unique.
NORF SARF is a playful exploration of the long-standing debate between the North and South of London. Dave uses this regional rivalry to encourage us to poke fun at friends from the 'other side of the river' while celebrating our sense of identity and belonging. It’s a nod to the playful banter, subtle rivalries, and the urban culture that define London’s distinct cultural and geographical divides. This mixture of timeless retro cartography and the modernity of the typography creates work that is cheeky and joyful. Working in both his classic neon pink, gold leaf and gold ink, Dave gives a nod and a wink to the city's eclectic, rebellious spirit, effortlessly blending tradition with contemporary edge.
If London is a city of two halves, which side do you belong to?
