Varnom Ross by Bibliothèque

Image
 arnom Ross   is a London-based specialist recruitment agency carefully pairing  property   professionals with private and public sector clients operating throughout the UK.

Åhléns by Happy FB

Image
 hléns   began in 1899 as a small mail-order business. Aside from it being one of the oldest it has also grown to become one of the largest   retail   chains in   Sweden . By carefully collating a variety of items across brands and price categories, the retailer maintains its relevance today, understanding and responding to the many ways in which its customers have changed over its long history.  Happy FB , the   Scandinavian   design studio behind Åhléns new visual identity, puts it simply “to Åhléns’ urbane and socially conscious patrons, shopping and sustainability are not contradictions. Inspiration and trends do not equate to use and discard. Premium can be inexpensive and cheap doesn’t necessarily mean a drop in quality”. The retailer’s new visual identity expresses this by taking the well-established  Åhléns  wordmark and single red and builds this out into a range of changing graphic expressions, imbuing a variety of to...

The Golden Hour by Triboro

Image
 he Golden Hour   is an outdoor seasonal   restaurant   located in New York’s The High Line Hotel. It is a place to experience the softening of sunlight with unobstructed views of the Chelsea skyline. The restaurant intends to draw to mind the casual elegance of a coastal soirée rather than the rushing of pre-dinner drinks. The restaurant space is described as being a lush outdoor dining room where brass tables meet tropical vegetation and aisles of topiary. Drinks are centred around the escapement of the summer heat which compliments dishes inspired by the flavours of late summer on the North Atlantic, created to be enjoyed outdoors. There is a theatre to the experience in its spatial considerations, performative aspect, in the transitions that happen over time within the restaurant (small plates to large platters), and the evocation of a time and place. This   temporal   quality also emerges in the design of The Golden Hour’s visual identity, in the ...
