Cornwell Design (AU) : Hecker Guthrie

Hecker Guthrie

Paul Hecker and Hamish Guthrie have produced some of the best interiors in the world. When they decided to upgrade their brand to reflect the evolution of their business, we created an identity not unlike their projects: crafted, detailed, textural, bold, tactile and sumptuous. 

Hey Days : What if Pine

What if Pine

Print

2010

What if Pine is an exhi­bi­tion held at the V&A, as a result of a ongo­ing project ini­ti­ated by the nor­we­gian fur­ni­ture design­ers Frøystad+Klock. Its pur­pose was to explore the ver­sa­til­ity and use of pine in mod­ern design processes. We cre­ated the exhi­bi­tion mate­r­ial, includ­ing a cus­tom mod­u­lar dis­play type, based on the pine walls used as a back­drop at the exhi­bi­tion stand.

Hey Days: Woodhouse

Wood­house

DigitalIdentity

2010

Wood­house rep­re­sents sup­pli­ers to buy and to sell tim­ber, boards and con­struc­tion mate­ri­als, as a binder between the sup­plier and the cus­tomer. Since new mar­kets opened for com­mu­ni­cat­ing both to the con­struc­tion mar­ket and directly with the archi­tects, the iden­tity needed a lift. Our task was to com­mu­ni­cate to both seg­ments, despite being dif­fer­ent in behav­ior. We used raw mate­ri­als for print, com­bined with strong graphic images of wood mate­ri­als at dif­fer­ent stages to under­line a close con­nec­tion to the prod­ucts and their clients.

Dona Baronesa – Sustainable Visual ID

Dona Baronesa | Sustainable Visual ID

For the opening of Dona Baronesa new studio, the visual identity was designed to be sustainable, by using custom made stamps so that scrap paper and old paper displays that we already had could re-used. The use of stamps can also allow the use of less aggressive ink, like water based inks in the process, wich is great for the environment! The idea of using stamps to craft the stationery were also great because it was a wonderful way to illustrate the studio’s concept where every material is “designed and tailored to the clients taste”.

The studio’s stationery was completely hand crafted, and no new paper stock, print and harmful varnishes were used in the process.

The die-cut for the envelope, media package, and bookmarks was custom designed for the project.

The use of stamps for crafting the stationery is also great because it doesn’t limit the type of material that can be created and designed. Other creative pieces, rather than the traditional letterheads and envelopes, can be designed like posters, bookmarks, postcards, stickers, and just about anything one can imagine!

What I like about this :

This whole idea of using a rubber stamp as the one medium in which the design is applied through. I'm planning on using this as part of my self promotion and branding

the rubber stamp creates really lovely grunge texture but authentic rather re creating it digitally


can use through out lots of different range of products. eg stationary, business card and even wrapping paper etc
