The consertina depicts the product of LA-based fashion designer Gregory Parkinson’s time spent at Christopher Farr’s weaving mill in India, working with the weavers to explore alternative approaches to conventional rug-making.
- The Muffin ManThe Muffin Man is a Brighton based brand that makes gourmet traditional english muffins. The company operates food stalls around Brighton serving a range of sandwiches with fresh, local ingredients on homebaked muffins. They wanted a logo and identity created that combined classic fast food branding with a modern twist.
- Genuine FakesThe ‘Genuine Fakes’ series combines writing and sourced quotes with an internet assembled image archive, to explore ideas around authenticity in the internet age. Each zine focuses on a different case in which repetition, imitiation and sampling are used as a core means of production. The 4 book series was printed in A5 on a lightweight 130 GSM gloss. The bright white, glossy paper and the highly saturated, pixelated images mimic the online environment synonymous with the books’ subject matter
