The Apartment Identity & Stationary Collateral
Design The Luxury of Protest
“The intention with the identity elements was to create pieces that related in format to vernacular uses of writing tablets while at the same time graphically referencing common elements found in an apartment: wallpaper. The wallpaper featured on the reverse side of pieces is a digitized (72dpi) transcription of William Morris’ acanthus wallpaper. Additionally all elements feature a selected list of tag terms derived from the studio’s web portal which functions to categorize information and indirectly hints at the cultural preferences imbued in the studio’s personnel.
Mechanically embroidered duvet cover for the re-design of the apartment’s studio interior; modeled after a functioning apartment with living room, kitchen and furnished bedroom.”
I really appreciate designers who take ordinary things out of their respective contexts and subsequently produce something engaging, unexpected and beautiful. Just as Michael/Build made the “instruction manual aesthetic” look sexy and more recently, Commonwealth with their extraordinary furniture pieces inspired by a refined cooking ingredient obtained from the fatty tissue of a pig [lard]; Peter/The Luxury of Protest has managed to transform the generic form of a penis into something visually appealing without making it appear vulgar and cheap. And in the history of SeptemberIndustry, never once did I think I’d end up saying that!
With that said, The Luxury of Protest has been updated with a new layout as well as some new pieces of work. This time round Peter has made all the /images on the new site large enough to show the intricate details of his work which is always a plus because it will especially come in handy once his ‘Maths Dreamed Universe’ poster finally gets released publicly…
