We Built the World

We Built the World A graphic celebration of Teesside's industrial heritage. Our steel was strong enough to travel the globe, our design can do the same.

We Built The World is a creative project by Better, a brand agency born on Teesside and based in the former home of Bolckow and Vaughan, the forefathers of Steel. Our vision is to develop a collection of high quality limited edition screen prints that celebrate Teesside’s unique character, creativity and spirit of innovation. Our prints are aimed at anyone who likes accessible art, appreciates good design and has a fondness for the region.
