Ecology and typography : Garamond typography, the 14-year-old prodigy and $136 million in savings ! Why this equation isn’t entirely true !

Les Rencontres de Lure. For 61 years, strange wackos have been meeting every summer in “Lurs-en-Provence” to redo the typography in particular and the world in general. In a climate of camaraderie, under the Provençal sun, perched on a rock, all the faces of typography are discussed.

Retrospective of Roger Excoffon’s work. Graphic designer, typographer and type designer 1910-1983. The creator of the Banco, Mistral, antique olive typography… but also of the Air France visual identity.

Müller-Brockmann is one of the most influential graphic designers in the history. His work is always taught, studied and published. It is certainly the figurehead of Swiss graphic design (which also takes the name of international style). His work is influenced by Bauhaus and constructivism. Typography and geometry are predominant.

Visual identity for the Auditorium Orchestre National de Lyon. A concept that reinforces the idea of association between a place and an orchestra!

A few weeks ago, we took part in a consultation launched by Paris Métropole (a group of local authorities working together to find solutions to the social, economic and environmental challenges facing their shared territory). The project involved reinforcing the visual identity we had created for them with a graphic charter that could be used for the communication and signage of an exhibition, the creation of its catalog, the execution of their brochures and annual reports, as well as the redesign of their website. Phew, just that!

Here’s the project (not selected… sniff…) we presented during the consultation for the “Design of a communication territory for Terminal 3” at Lyon St-Exupéry airport. In anticipation of the boom in low-cost traffic, Lyon airport is extending the infrastructure of Terminal 3. As part of this project, a new building will be constructed. Located on the runways, it will be joined by an aerial and then an underground gallery. One of the challenges of this call for tender was to design the connecting gallery. The aim was to create a pleasant, reassuring and entertaining space, while reducing the perceived length of the route (250 meters).
