Collaboration — Calendar 2019 type contribution

FL@33 was once again invited by Italian paper company Fedrigoni and TM Studio to contribute a visual interpretation – this time of the number 6 for the date:
6 November 2019.

'An opportunity to celebrate different cultural backgrounds by presenting two different ways to show the number three using fingers. My trilingual three-year-old daughter shows the British sign with her left hand and the way most continental European countries do it by including a thumb. Her six fingers also form the FL@33 logo.'  Tomi Vollauschek

Latest RCA Secret postcard contributions

FL@33's Agathe Jacquillat and Tomi Vollauschek created three postcard artworks for the annual exhibition and fundraising event RCA Secret 2018 in London. A selection of Agathe's Road Works photographs joined Tomi's #loadingmuseum postcard contributions: screenshots of news clips with the loading / streaming icons that look like monocles and nose rings or beards positioned on the faces of politicians. Happy accidents frozen in time as one-off art postcards. Funny that these politicians are not exactly known for supporting the Arts but here they are generating money for Royal College of Art students.

See all FL@33 postcard contributions.

Yay! FL@33-commissioned Vaughan Oliver poster featured in his great VO:A publication
 

Already released last autumn but only recently added to our online archive: We are over the moon that our Stereohype 10th anniversary poster collaboration with Vaughan Oliver made the cut and is prominently featured in the amazing and truly beautiful Unit Editions publication Vaughan Oliver: Archive (two volumes in slipcase).
 

We (as FL@33 and Stereohype) had the pleasure to collaborate with this design hero of ours at numerous occasions including the time Vaughan created some badges for Stereohype, a commissioned card for our FL@33 Postcard book and contributions for FL@33's The 3D Type Book.

Did we already mention...?

Please help us spread some button badge love and let friends and family know about Stereohype's fun badge design competition (Deadline 9/9/2019). #STBBDC

B for Bed /// Follow us on Instagram @flat33studio

Shown here: pre-shredder snap of a rejected logo idea from 2005 for a new bed company with a name that started with the letter B. The word Bed... in fact. The potential... The heartbreak... All I'm saying...

Making space for newer work we are clearing our archive. Before we shred print-outs and sketches, rejects, unpublished variants and experiments we will take pictures and post them over on Instagram in the next coming weeks and months. Our Instagram handle is @flat33studio.
