I want to focus on some of the new project presented in the work section. When Paola contact me to design the identity of her project, I know we can do something unusal and without boundaries... She wants something artistic, organic and technical... why create one logo when you could have three ?

 

This is the artistic logo and the tools : letterhead, business card, tags, envelop and round stickers...

 

 

The organic one

 

 

and the technical one

 

 

 

She also wants to have letterpress buisness cards, so I adapt the design to letterpress technic and use the split fountain process (mixing inks during printing process) to be consistant with the other tools...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The tempory web site is a "morphing" of the different logos, check www.mymodusvivendi.com

 

Paola now instal her yoga room and send me these nice pictures of it, with the possible/impossible wall sticker and the letterpress coasters.

 

 

 

 

This is a week end post ! Thanks for all the orders of the Helvetica wood and coasters, the first packages will be send on monday. It seems some people have some bugs on the ordering process, so if you try to order and fail, please email me on which device and what goes wrong...

 

Thanks a lot for all these nice feedbacks, tweets, facebooks messages about the new site, and articles about the products : The Dieline / Design Work Life / Inspirare 

 

I was looking for simple cupboard and I found so much more... this is Bali ! I love this chairs, I would want to took them all ! If you have a bar or a project where they can be at the right place, feel free to contact me...

 

 

 

After some more road, I found this shop selling vintage Vespa. I am not sure everything is from origin but they are superb, and will go so well with the chairs ;)

 

 

 

Earlier this week, I stop by the house a guy passionate by Vespa Side Car... the red "Starsky & Hutch" one is my favorit.

 

 

 

And here are some images of Bali life... the temples and the every days offers to the gods.

 

 

This stunning view may be soon something I see everyday...

 

 

The main touristic attraction in Ubud, is the Sacred Monkey Forest. You can walk in this magnificent place with monkeys everywhere... the other picture is a nice under the rain sunset too from my home.

 

 

All these pictures werre taken with instagram of course, and they just do a profile page where you can see all my pictures and follow me... Better late than never...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With all the news on the Mr Cup project, I guess you need some help to see everything. You know the 7 rules to understand design and designers, which was the source for 12 ones used on the 2011 letterpress calendar. On this first edition of the calendar, I compose the rules using only different version of the Bodoni font, a classic...

 

I think every rule can be independant from each other, and if only two werre available on the harmonie interieure shop, I put 9 in the new Mr Cup shop.

 

If you go on the detail page of the Designers rules wall sticker, you can choose between the 9 of the rules. As all the stickers, there are 2 sizes available & you can choose between the 20 colors...

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the question comes often, here comes my answer. What I want is create things, for the fun of it... If I could make money with it, great... The 2011 calendar was a great challenge and I loved it... 2012 one was great even if it does not the same "1st time" feeling... This year is special for me, as I travel a lot and move to Bali.

 

So I want to do something new and focus on the Helvetica wood letter which is a project I want to do for years... So, there won't be a 2013 letterpress calendar... But if you look for a nice gift for your designer friend, husband, wife, daughter, you still can offer a wood letter and some letterpress coasters !

 

These 2 pictures featuring the october 2012 calendar page werre taken by the amazing Hannah Lemholt which blog worth some hours to lose yourself into it... She was recently in Ubud, where I live, but we miss each other...
