For the next 2 days I am in Clermont-Ferrand, working on a new project (you can see logos on my dribble).
Exemple of a very good idea by Farm design : Why creating a simply brochure when you can send some nicely packaged popsicles !

I also like his way to present his work : I love to explore the different possibilities of innovation and minimalism through my designs. I find it really significant to think about the durability of any creations . Every time I start a new project , I try to work with one or two materials , first, to highlight the object in His natural appearance and aussi to think about the recycling options in the future . This is why I Avoid the use of screws and nails industrials falling on the building , replacing: em with wood solutions. This process helps the ecological design to fit my expectations . The aesthetic of the design always comes naturally Effective I have thought the function . I think design shoulds optimize space and minimize the use of materials , from packaging to His His final function , this is why I try to conceive mere objects , easy to dismantle , and mobile .

A little reminder that the 2014 Letterpress calendar, is available on pre-sale. I figure out few people only read the latest blog posts ! The other day, someone was really suprised when I told him I have an online shop, after saying he visits the blog every day ! So, I prefer to repeat myself !
The printing has now started and I will share first images as soon as possible. Half of the "deluxe edition" are now sold, and I am very please with this. Some people ask what was "deluxe" on the deluxe edition, as you can see each card of the calendar has it's own color, and has the paper is very heavy (700 gm), the edges will be painted on the same color. The idea is to have a kind of edges rainbow at the end ! You also can get the normal edition, final calendar should be ready to be send early november.
Every order done during the pre-sale stage will get a special extra item from my archives, AND you will also have the 2 first issues of THREE ebook for free ! As Georges Clooney would said "What else" !

I already present Stitch design works, here, here and there, as it is simply one of my favorit studio. The new bags and boxes they have done for the Rewined candles project make me want to highlight it ! It is smart, it is recycled, it is beautifull... So inspiring ! Rewined Candles are all natural soy wax candles poured into discarded wine bottles. And they just have a brand new site !
Some nice behind the scene images from the new web site.
This is the perfect exemple of one of the sentense from the Creative Manifesto : "If everything has already been done, try doing it even better". This is a better way to do candles !!!
