Konvooi, Booklet, 2022 / of 7 / More info

Identity and pro­gram with timetable and art route book­let for Konvooi 2022. Konvooi is an annu­al mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary music and arts fes­ti­val. Located close to youth cul­ture cen­tre Het Entrepôt in Bruges. It pro­vides young artists/​collectives a tra­jec­to­ry, a bud­get and the respon­si­bil­i­ty to co-curate the fes­ti­val. For the iden­ti­ty of Konvooi we select­ed a sten­cil type­face and start­ed to deform these let­ters into almost unread­able shapes. We liked the idea that this defor­ma­tion looked like wet ink drip­ping from a wall. The com­po­si­tion of these let­ters visu­al­ize a con­voy. A shape or group of vehi­cles, nor­mal­ly used in mil­i­tary strate­gies, to ben­e­fit a defen­sive pur­pose. This project was made togeth­er with graph­ic design­er Otis Verhoeven and Lennart Van den Bossche. Typefaces we used in this pub­li­ca­tion were Mineral by Benoit Bodhuin and Helveesti by ABC Dinamo. Every year het Entrepôt is look­ing for new young and upcom­ing cura­tors for Konvooi or oth­er fes­ti­vals and events, be sure to give them a call if you are inter­est­ed in curat­ing a festival.

Ramble Song by Berlin, 2021 / of 4 / More info

Poster and Vinyl design for the instal­la­tion and per­for­mance called Ramble Song’ by Antwerp based col­lec­tive BERLIN. With Ramble Song, BERLIN pro­pels music — a dri­ving foun­da­tion in ear­li­er work — and the cin­e­mat­ic into the fore­ground. A poet­ic ram­ble full of beau­ty but also dis­ap­point­ment unrav­els in a series of tableaux. Ramble Song mean­ders between melan­choly and black humour, inspired by the fig­ure of the drifter ­— the nomad who cul­ti­vates a form of inde­ci­sive­ness and who lurks in each of us. Onstage there is a the­atri­cal instal­la­tion. This organ­ism in sleep mode, with some­thing that resem­bles a con­tin­u­ous­ly audi­ble and vis­i­ble res­pi­ra­tion, is ani­mat­ed through live music and footage. The sound­track is wide-rang­ing, fea­tur­ing echoes of new-clas­si­cal music but also ener­getic krautrock and a diver­si­ty of synth-dri­ven sound­scapes. The dai­ly noise between our ears here gives way to a musi­cal uni­verse that gets crys­tal­lized in images — and vice ver­sa. More infor­ma­tion on www​.berlin​ber​lin​.be

Jowa Identity, 2022 / of 13 / More info

Branding and iden­ti­ty for Jowa in Jakarta. Jowa is a fusion kitchen BBQ restau­rant in Jakarta, Indonesia. We want­ed to cre­ate a unique visu­al lan­guage for this upcom­ing restau­rant in the sub­urbs of the vivid city. So we start­ed think­ing of a way to visu­al­ize the coals of a bbq with the way ingre­di­ents are han­dled by a chef in a kitchen. We start­ed draw­ing these burned-out abstract forms and start­ed cut­ting straight aggres­sive lines into them. Just like a very sharp knife would to do a toma­to or a piece of beef. The out­come were these abstract fig­ures that worked per­fect­ly in the set­ting of the restau­rant. Inside these rudi­men­tal forms we select­ed a classy type­writer type­face to clash both ele­ments. Together with the client we also pro­duced an approach on food pho­tog­ra­phy and their social media atti­tude. Making sure this abstract iden­ti­ty was com­bined with very moody and straight-for­ward pho­tog­ra­phy of their dish­es and inte­ri­or. Website made togeth­er with graph­ic design­er and web­de­vel­op­er Mathieu Serruys and intern Ibert Pauwels.

Robbrecht en Daem architecten, 2022 / of 5 / More info

We were asked to design the new web­site of respect­ed Belgian archi­tects Robbrecht & Daem. The web­site fol­lows a very strict grid and plays with­in the lim­i­ta­tions of these self-made choic­es. Following Robbrecht en Daem’s unique count­ing sys­tem called Louie” (Named after the American archi­tect Louis Kahn) the web­site only uses lines and one weight and height of a grotesk type­face to make a log­ic view­ing sys­tem. Referring to archi­tec­tur­al plans or sketch­es and the way a build­ing is based on lay­er­ing the cor­rect mate­ri­als. We hope you get lost and are chal­lenged by the uncon­ven­tion­al inter­face, when going through their projects, encoun­ters and thoughts. Besides this min­i­mal­ist sys­tem, we also tried to includ­ed the use of a visu­al hori­zon. We want­ed this con­cept to be the start­ing point of the home­page. We hope view­ers expe­ri­ence a vir­tu­al land­scape of build­ings or projects going from left to right. Their unique approach on design need­ed to have a unique dig­i­tal out­come. Besides this port­fo­lio web­site we also helped to to cre­ate a per­son­al dig­i­tal data­base and made sure their newslet­ters are made auto­mat­i­cal­ly. Project togeth­er with web devel­op­er Rein van Oyen. Visit the web­site www​.rob​brech​t​en​daem​.com
