Caravan
London calling... Identity design for new London Roastery, Bar & Restaurant — Caravan. They roast their own coffee on site, the food is universal, inspired by the flavours of the world — and it’s all cooked by Miles Kirby, former Head Chef of The Providores. Caravan is contemporary with a nod to the values of a hand-made artisan history. Black thermo ink on a lush matt stock makes for a trailer full of happiness.

Adhesif
A brand name that sticks.
We recently refreshed the Adhesif indentity. Adhesif have been in the market over 20 years, so it was evolution rather than revolution in terms of identity development.
We used the cylindrical rolls of adhesive stock as our design cue to customise letterforms, creating a unique word-mark for the company.

Jim Allen
Here's a lovely little pared-back publication for Michael Lett Gallery. Jim Allen, Poetry for Chainsaws & Hanging by a Thread II. The palette took a lead from imagining what the space would feel like being filled with carbon monoxide from three screaming chainsaws whilst Ginsberg's Howl was being read aloud by Allen. You had to be there.

Clay Economies
Clay Economies is big brother to one of our favourite Objectspace catalogues, Bespoke, from 2006. With raw and finished stock change outs, lovely typography and warm earthy tones, it just makes you want to fire this in a kiln somewhere... after you have read it of course.
Don McGlashan & The Seven Sisters
We recently collaborated with Deb and Mark Smith on Marvellous Year – the second solo album by one of New Zealand’s most significant musical icons - Don McGlashan.
Dada wine
The Dada movement was a huge source of inspiration to the design
of this top end boutique wine package. Typographically we settled on
Braggadocio, a strange hybrid with characteristics of both sans serif and modern
faces; and it belongs very much to its time. Like high society in the 1920’s, it
should not be taken too seriously. But don’t be fooled – this juice is the real deal!

SILVER_ Best Awards 2008
Turuki Turuki! Paneke Paneke!
Turuki Turuki! Paneke Paneke!, a recent exhibition at the Auckland
Art Gallery. The title is a Maori chant used when waka were taken to
sea. We looked at how we could translate the concept of movement <
through typography. The result, is a dynamic masthead, that replicates
the movement of rowers in a waka.
