This edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray sought to bring Oscar Wilde's original text, highlighting the censorship it suffered in its editing process, both by Wilde and his editor. Our goal was to show the censorship efficiently, without resorting to tedious footnotes. The censored excerpts were then covered in white paint, or overtacked by hand, with the replacement (if any) of the excerpt on the side margin, promoting a quick and fluid comparative reading. The book also plays with the idea of ​​showing and hiding, through the use of typography, imagery – 18 paintings created by artist Gustavo Magalhães especially for this project – and the materiality of the book, which has a dust jacket (in the special edition) and exposed spine. The dust jacket unfolds into a poster, which reveals one of Magalhães' paintings on an enlarged scale. Inside it is enclosed a piece of fine art.

For the 27th edition of one North America’s longest running student-driven history conferences at Concordia University in Montréal, we took inspiration from the event’s titular epochs of disco and pandemic. Paying tribute to the lyrics of disco diva Sylvester (himself one of the towering creative figures tragically lost to the HIV/AIDS crisis) and the text-driven protest posters of ACT UP’s Montréal chapter, this series extended across digital print postering runs, silkscreened mementos for keynotes and panelists, a fully coded website featuring a Sylvester playlist and motion graphics for online promotion.

Shapes From Out of Nowhere pays tribute to the extensive cluster of experimental ceramics donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Robert A. Ellison Jr., celebrated with a spirited exhibition in 2021. Featuring works of over 50 boundary-pushing ceramicists including George Ohr, Axel Salto, Katherine Choy and Peter Voulkos, this catalog’s playful arrangements are directly inspired by the artworks themselves.

Mercedes Benz’s Safe Spaces pride campaign was built around the four key ideas of Language, Visibility, Respect and Advocacy, creating safer spaces both “on the road, and off.” Partnered with the non-profit LGBTQIA+ sporting organization Athlete Ally, Safe Spaces also shines a spotlight on trans, non-binary pro-skater Leo Baker, sharing their story of acceptance, authenticity and allyship. More than Pride Month rainbow washing, Safe Spaces put marketing into beneficial, tangible action for the community. #pridecampaign #consulting #concepting

Produced for the 16th Venice Biennale International Architecture Exhibition in 2018 in collaboration with the A Future Collective and the Bahrain Authority for Culture & Antiquities, 3 Scores & the People’s Mic Khutba translates a non-hierarchical Islamic sacred service text into Urdu, Arabic, English and Italian atop radiant background imagery. The book’s multilingual presentation calls for multinational understanding, and was acquired into the collections of the British Library in 2019.

Given the scope and size of Jean Gillon: Artista-Designer, additional exhibition design and outfitting of the Galeria Passado Composto spaces was required on quick turnaround. Gillon’s mid-century artworks and furniture were integrated into small compartmented zones, and an extensive timeline was created to contextualize his productivity across various mediums.

For this show held at Museu da Casa Brasileira, we inverted the common sense logics of object on a base / visitor on the ground we see on most exhibitions. Instead, we created a sort of wood carpet, that guides the visitor through the shows, creating spaces and a trajectory for the visitor to walk on. The colors were picked from the prolific tapestry work by Jean Gillon.

Ronnie Sassoon’s unparalleled art collection takes pride of place in Selection, showcased in her trio of celebrated living spaces: a home in Litchfield by Marcel Breur, another in Los Angeles by Richard Neutra and her Soho Loft in NYC laid out by its former long-term tenant Jack Ceglic. Loose snapshots of Sassoon’s homes contrast architecture with art, showcasing her noted collections of works and design objects from the Italian Arte Povera and Groupe Zero schools.

Over 85% of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest has been devastated by human activity and Remnants of the Atlantic Forest collects memories of the forest as it once was alongside traces of what little remains. Through exploratory typography, distinctive layout and sharp photographic art direction, this book distills Cardim’s extensive research into a single, striking volume.

Working closely with a committee of classmates from the 2022 undergrad cohort, we constructed their annual catalog opting for a visually enticing mix as opposed to an indexical grouping of works. Both the book and the ever-changing accompanying website—never appearing the same way twice—expressively heighten and reinforce the true collectivity and collaborative spirit of the class of ‘22. And you wanted a twist? The typeface—introducing Lampen!— was created in-house uniquely for this project. 💅

The identity and typeface for Wandering Bear Coffee were developed over a period of several years, adapting and changing as the brand expanded from the owners’ small NYC apartments to a trending beverage in the fridges of Whole Foods and offices across America. And while the cases are no longer individually hand-stamped, Wandering Bear has never lost its artisanal aesthetic through each collaborative upgrade.

Open spaces and concise functionality are the hallmarks of Canoa Arquitetura, the partnership of architects Mario Moura and Victor Gurgel. Taking their name from the canoe, a true example of keen functionality, the group’s identity system required a similar approach. Floating upon the suggestion of invisible waves, Canoa’s branding is as sharp and minimalist as their constructions.

Through a long-lasting artistic collaboration after our own hearts, artists Brad Davis and Janis Provisor’s Fort Street Studio has brought the ancient practice of Chinese carpet weaving to an international audience. A Tale of Warp and Weft chronicles their joint discoveries and explorations throughout a shared career, craftily designed in parallel to the act of weaving itself. Hardcover editions also include a cloth fabric spine featuring a sample of their work.

Eye-catching cover graphics are a standard for Todavia and Fósforo, both brazilian publishers. Here are a couple of book cover projects we've done for them (Side-note: the swimmer is Ana!)

The identity package for American Backwards’ plant-based take on fast food required both a critical lens on the typical McDining Experience and a sense of bratty fun in presenting the alternative. Disruptive yet whimsical, our z-to-a approach encompassed signage, packaging, promotional materials, websites and merch in which nothing regarding the American ideal was sacred – not even Rockwell.

The Philadelphia-based Fitler Club’s 135,000 square-foot campus also functions as one of the city’s most forward-looking contemporary arts gallery spaces. To celebrate the Fitler Foundation’s two initial two-year artistic residency cohorts, Artists in Residence at Fitler Club 2019-2023 lets both the space and the work do the talking. Functioning as both commemoration and advertising, this piece communicates simultaneous messages of exclusivity and outreach.

Signage plays a role in author and illustrator Isaac J. Bader’s Elsewhere Bear, guiding towards the creation of an exclusive typeface for use throughout the book and its supporting materials. Bader’s illustrations inspire wonder and exploration in readers young and old, and the book’s breezy, open layout presents them in unhindered widescreen.

The collaborative team at Grains of Salt have created a multifaceted hub of innovation that ranges across architectural design, promoting voter turnout and the operation of a permaculture farm and creative space in Hillsboro, Oregon. Made up of individual freely-appearing letters forming a greater whole, this logo both contemplates and compliments their forward-thinking work.

Smorgasburg’s weekly gourmet pop-up markets in New York City, Los Angeles and Jersey City and their annual spin-off events in Osaka and São Paulo have been called no less than “the Woodstock of Eating.” The following pieces are drawn from a multi-year cornucopia of works encapsulating signage and wayfinding, textile, digital, print and on-the-fly activations with major stakeholders including AirBNB, Google, National Geographic, British Airways, REI, Showtime, Kirin Beer and others.
