FEATURES

Art direction, visual identity, logotype, print, digital, website, editorial design

Syvil is a Parisian architecture and urban planning studio founded in 2015, after five years of existence as a think-tank. The studio is the winner of the 2018 Young Architects and Landscape Architects Albums (AJAP 2018) and the winner of the Équerre d'Argent First Work in 2021. Syvil takes a singular look at contemporary cities by choosing to focus on their backstage areas, their backyards and the material channels that enable them to exist. Thus, by bringing together the studio's Research and Project divisions, we developed the agency's new identity and website.

Musée d'Orsay

YEAR

2023

FEATURES

Art Direction, Visual identity, Type design, Guideline, campaign, print, digital

The Musée d'Orsay is dedicated to artistic expression from the period 1848-1914. With an annual attendance rate of 3.5 million, it is one of the world's most prestigious cultural institutions. We won the contract for the complete overhaul of its visual identity, in partnership with Designers Unit for the signage. Our project promotes a contemporary interpretation of the museum's artistic expressions, by defining a clear, readable and engaging visual language. We defined a global, coherent approach for all print and digital communication media, including signage. We designed an exclusive, bespoke typeface: Orsay Elzevir. This typeface is a contemporary reinterpretation of the typographic evolutions from La Belle Époque, and conveys the energy of the artistic period to which the Musée d'Orsay is dedicated.

CLIENT

Chaillot Théâtre nationale de la Danse

YEAR

2022-2025

FEATURES

Art direction, global visual identity, print, digital, video, motion, signage

Chaillot commissioned us to propose a global overhaul of the institution's visual identity. Inspired by the new director Rachid Ouramdane, the programming is intended to be more radical and aimed at a wider, younger and more varied audience. We have thus proposed a generous and engaging register that desacralizes the institution. The typographic system is all-purpose, clear and rational. It provides Chaillot with a more accessible image. We have developed an iconography based on amateur images. They are taken from everyday life and highlight the banality of the body in movement. The new visual identity attracts the attention of broader audiences by simply showing that dance is everywhere.

Respect is a media that advocates action journalism and the promotion of an urban, social and mixed voice. Launched in the spring of 2022, it shows how everyone can act on the evolution of society on an individual basis and highlights reconciliatory initiatives. By setting up a tone close to that of the manifesto, we imagined a global design for the visual identity of the media, which is expressed in both print and digital.

The website is structured around three sections: Projects, Agency and Resources. This last section is specific to the agency's architectural approach, as it presents the different research carried out in relation to the "act of building". Through its practice, the agency aims at exploring the possible evolutions of the built environment.

Space Invader Studio

YEAR

2023

FEATURES

Art direction, editorial design

On the occasion of the installation of his 4000th mosaic, the street artist Invader asked us to design an exhaustive guide, a real "bible" of his work: 4000, The Complete Guide to the Space Invaders 1998 - 2021. Using an objective and scientific tone, we developed elegant technical pages presenting the works in a chronological order, with immersive contextual images. We also developed a dedicated index and a "Data" section to report on the artist's methodical work. We conceived the object as a "catalogue raisonné" of 1,024 pages. Particular attention has been paid to the book's cover which, through the use of waxed tearproof paper and fluorescent inks, has already made Invaders 4000 a cult and collector's book since its launch.

Created in 1985, Intramuros is an iconic French independent magazine dedicated to international design and all its applications in graphic design, interior architecture, industrial creation, but also in fashion and new technologies. Intramuros asked us to propose a complete rebranding of the layout and logo. We defined a hierarchical and spontaneous overall spirit allowing great freedom in the compositions. Through the use of collages, sophisticated page layouts, solid color areas and variations in scale, our concept prioritises the emphasis on content. Typographical rigorism and well-paced iconographic compositions offer a dynamic reading of the magazine.

Navigation is instinctive and visitors can browse tthrough the programme, a list of numerous events or even a map of the region. We focused on functionality. The network's extensive cultural offer is therefore presented in a very organised way.

37 Quai Branly, Paris

/

CLIENT

Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac

YEAR

2020

FEATURES

Restricted consultation, proposal not retained.

The musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac asked us to think about a communication campaign that will give new impetus to this prestigious cultural institution. We have decided to refocus communication on the privileged setting of the museum: the garden and the architecture specific to the identity of the place, in the heart of Paris. We proposed to keep the emblematic hook "Where cultures dialogue" by associating it with the address of the Museum "37, quai Branly, 75007 Paris", as an invitation, a reference to travel and dialogue. Associated with images from five continents, the lush garden, works and objects from all eras, the Parisian address of this institution creates a powerful contrast.

In a more convincing, more human and more lively visual spirit, we have chosen a more transversal approach by showing the incredible richness and diversity of the collections: contemporary art, photography, everyday objects, etc. The idea is to create new links with the contemporary world and current creative disciplines in order to reach a wider, younger and more connected audience.
