Design for a special edition book dedicated to Italian contemporary artist Renato Ranaldi. Here, we decided to follow the idea of “out-of-axis”, used by this artist in his projects. We also attempted to reflect a certain 70s look in the publication, since it collects texts, photos and video stills from three projects initiated by Ranaldi in those years, and re-presented at Villa Romana, in 2014.

This book by architectural researcher Sophie Handler aims at the ‘socially engaged urban practitioner’. It highlights issues of ageing within our cities and inspires theorists, designers, policymakers and the like to consider age-related challenges into their practice. It has been designed as a small format ‘pocket-guide’ in close collaboration with the author.

For a series of workshops and talks titled the Debating Chamber during September and October 2014 at the Royal Festival Hall, at the Southbank Centre, London, objectif have been commissioned to design the temporary signage. Headed under a prominent neon sign we carried the concept of a pinwall further, and designed all typography to consist of individual pins. In democratic spirit the audience has been encouraged to write their thoughts and pin them up for public display.

For the sixth rendition of the yearbook of the Villa Romana fellows, Ei Arakawa, Natalie Czech, Loretta Fahrenholz, Petrit Halilaj, Sergei Tcherepnin and Alvaro Urbano we opted for a collection of publications that had no relation to one another. This diverse collection was held together merely by the screenprinted shrink-wrap, which once opened can no longer be re-used.

To accompany the Wellcome Collection’s new space, the Reading Room, in London, UK, we compiled a book to provide in depth information of the diverse objects that are featured in the exhibition. Its design evokes a feel of 19th century Enlightenment encyclopedia, with the enthusiasm and spirit of the new that came with it.
