Designers in Residence 2016

Design Museum
2016

Honoured to contribute to the newly revealed Design Museum, we have been collaborating with furniture and interior design duo Faudet-Harrison for the exhibition of the work by this year’s Designers in Residence Alix Bizet, Clementine Blakemore, Andrea de Chirico and Rain Wu. Due to the 'OPEN' process the designers employ in the approach to their work, the results are not always plannable and very versatile in scale, materiality, aesthetic and function.
We opted for a clear and strong identity with signal character for the exhibition graphics to hold the space together, while varying the typefaces according to the charcter of each desgner’s work. As such, four bespoke typefaces have been created on the basis of Aperçu (with kind permission by Colophon Foundry), which are rigorously applied throughout all texts and the catalogue, we also designed.
