koné – handmade in italy

We designed the identity for talented accessory designer Yvonne Koné. She is currently perfecting and finishing her new luxury line of handmade leather bags & shoes in Italy. We designed the logotype for that too and were sent some images from the factory where they are testing the debossing … we’re quite pleased so far with the overall look and feel of the reproduction and can’t wait to see the whole collection. It is going to be amazing.

Testing, testing, drawing and printing … work in progress from the LA studio whilst working on the logotype.

Finishing up and finalizing on screen …

The first tests from Italy … looking mighty fine!

Le Palmiers

How amazing is this panelling “Les Palmiers” by Jean Dunand, who is considered the greatest lacquer artist of the Art Deco period. Commisioned in 1928 for Mdme Colette Aoucaya’s Rue de Monceau apartment in Paris. It was sold at an auction held by Christie’s last March for the modest sum of € 3,113,828.

Curious work by Bastien Aubry & Dimitri Broquard.

Pouf please!

How great are these hand knitted (!), urchin poufs made from vegetable dyed New Zealand wool?? Wow … we want one! They’re by Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma and you can buy them here.
