NIESSEN·&·DE·VRIES

2007 · Brochure De Droomintendant · Followed by house style/identity 
Stationery · Business cards · Stickers · Website · Invitation


ALPHABET·OF·FLAGS:Each letter and digit got its own pattern, thus creating an alphabet of patterns, based on flags. 


DIAMOND:From ‘De Droomintendant’ presentation and debate, it was concluded that not one but six candidates together would be the dreamed intendant. A house style based on a diamond was designed for these candidates.
The diamond shape plays a different role in each expression: they form a pattern on the stationery, on the invitation they represent the sixty differences, on the business cards they are isolated, and the can be peeled of the stickers.




VARIETY:Within the simple framework of the diamond and the simple typography, we aimed for a lot of variation, for instance for the sixteen different business cards: by using three printing colours in various ways and by adjusting the shape of the diamond.

2009 · Poster · 10 textile designs for Maharam New York 84 x 120 cm · Silkscreen


MAHARAM:Participation in the project ‘1 of 10’, for which 10 international designers (amongst others Harmen Liemburg and Karel Martens) were requested to design 10 patterns. Out of these 10 patterns, 1 was chosen per designer to be taken up in Maharam’s collection.




ADAPT:For the design of our 10 patterns, we used typefaces we designed for other assignments as a basis (such as ‘Grote kunst voor Kleine Mensen’, and ‘Toeval gezocht’). In each pattern we used the text ‘One two ... ten’.




REPEAT:Patterns have to be repeatable. The trick is to design the pattern in such a manner, that one cannot see where the repetition starts.
