Teresa Helbig Branding by Solo

“The Helbig universe was the essential starting point for the project to redesign the brand. On the one hand, we sought simplicity by taking a photographic route centred around high fashion and, as a secondary reading, we aimed to reflect the fundamental nature of the brand. In this respect, we sought to showcase the value of the materials and finishes used across the product range and the overarching attention to detail.”

Solo is an independent graphic design studio specializing in corporate identity, editorial design, packaging and typography. They work with companies and institutions in projects where they always seek both the best professional result and a great working relationship with our client. They like timeless ideas that give smart and responsible solutions, and that do not go unnoticed. Ideas that always adapt to the particular needs of each client.

MIN, The New Simplicity in Graphic Design

“Authored by Stuart Tolley, is the first thorough look at this rebirth of simplicity in graphic design. The book showcases global minimalist designers, working across a wide range of formats and media, which are interspersed with exclusive interviews and essays. To create a uniform backdrop, we photographed each of the 162 contributors’ examples, which are exclusive to the book.”

Transmission is a graphic design studio and editorial consultancy. That means they can bridge the gap between design and text, making it easier for anyone to bring their stories to life, regardless of the project or format. Whether they were small, independent start-ups, or huge global brands, their clients have found them to be approachable, creative and efficient. That’s because the team is small enough to be responsive and experienced enough to identify the right solution.

A Functional Folly

At lunch today I rode my bike over to Socrates Sculpture Park to check out Sticks, the 2016 Architectural League Folly. Designed by Hou de Sousa in a competition earlier this year, the folly departs from previous ones, such as 2014's SuralArk, in that it is functional: it is the venue for Socrates Sculpture Park’s Education Studio, which reportedly hosts over 10,000 students annually.



According to the League, "Sticks utilizes preexisting park resources, including scrap materials stored on site, which will be incorporated into the structural grid of the walls and roof. The architects re-use existing resources to build Sticks is central to the sustainable mission of Socrates Sculpture Park."



If you go visit Sticks, be sure to also check out Meg Webster's Concave Room for Bees, on display as part of Socrates Sculpture Park's 30th anniversary LANDMARK exhibition.
