The Human Cross

Last week we've been interviewed by Sint Lukas Brussels students, Katrien, Inge, Frea, Eveline and Clinton. They needed information about us and our work for a lecture they had to give in front of their schoolmates.

At the end of the lecture, they prepared a little surprise for us...
They get themselves together to design a human cross!
Check the picture, they rock!

Mosaic workspace for #hrworkspace

During her internship, Anaïs took some pictures around here and mixed them together in a mosaic.

It fits perfectly with the Human Ressources™ compilation of workspace pictures they're currently gathering on Twitter.
Don't hesitate to send them yours (with the hashtag #hrworkspace)

Follow the Guide – The Video

Be sure to check the video on the original post at: thewordmagazine.be

Over two months after, it’s high time to refresh your memories and remind you of the interactive design exhibition we organised early September with a three minute video directed by Gaetan Saint-Remy of Sep Stigo Films. The three opening nights were as good a success as we had hoped for (this being our first truly “Word” event), with close to 650 people coming to say hello and no suicides, emergency room visits nor DIY disasters to speak of (although we did get the odd drunk trying to slap a lawsuit on us for being hit by a paper plane).

Dance moves, envelopes, business cards and perfect songs. The three days (and the rest of the month for that matter) had somewhat of a kindergarten feel to it, with cissors and felt pens the weapons of choice.

You Needs Low

Hello there,

we've been busy lately working on several projects you'll soon hear about, and one of them was a flyer for a party in Brussels, High Needs Low.
We worked with a very talented photographer, Pierre Debroux, to shoot this picture.
The first idea was to recreate an appartment in some woods around here but finally, we did the opposite thing.
We put some small branches on the original picture, to design a kind of caban on top of it, and reshoot the composition.
After this small explanation, the more interesting part is that we warmly invite you to move your feets (and eventually your asses) at this party.
It will take place at the Congress Station, a train station in Brussels, the best place to start celebrating this ending year!

Enjoy everything.

WE ! LL ARE BE BACK

When we left the Architecture School of Nancy (ENSAN), in september, after two weeks of collecting information for our work on the signage, some students took our "Temporary Mobile Cardboard Office" (see Part One / Part Two) and made a nice sofa in the cafeteria. With big letters on top of it: "We'll be back".

This is now! We transformed a little bit their message to write "We ! are back". Because we are!
We're spending all week at ENSAN to test some prototypes for our proposition in situ.

You can check to blog for this intervention, called INSANE.
The sofa picture belongs to LDMLL CRVN.

In The Woods

We've been listening to Woods quite a lot around here. A kind of psych folk from Brooklyn.

Jauneorange invited them to play in Liège a few days ago and, of course, we were there.
They spent their time playing something between sonic noise and hyper folk ballads, we spent all our money buying vinyles.
Anaïs, who was working with us for two month, as an intern, took some picture of the show.
Some guys at Jauneorange interviewed them and also asked for a little 60 seconds jam during soundcheck.
Here are some pictures and one video they recorded in Dijon.
The jam and the interview will follow soon.

Michigan Films + Bozar = DCMNTR

We're really proud of our friends, Michigan Films, who were invited to show five of their latest documentaries at Bozar these 17th, 19th and 20th of november (it's time to hurry, the 17th is tomorrow!).
The whole selection is really great and you'll find more information on the small website they built for this special occasion.

We helped them with the "unfolding flyer which become a poster", we'll post some pictures of this printed thing soon on our portfolio or you can catch one of those if you come to the projections to share a beer with us...
One small thing, but we already said it: we worked a little bit on the the font for tht title sequence of the last one to be shown, An Insane Portrait.

étapes: 15 years

Étienne & Emily Émilie at Pyramid Pyramyd (the publishers of the french graphic design magazine étapes: ) gave us the opportunity to fill in a double spread in their upcoming book, a celebration of their 15th anniversary.

For this carte blanche we decided to show all the work that has never been released (lost cases, brutally interrupted collaborations, projects with no end, etc.) and made some comments about it.
We heard that the other cartes blanches were asked to Happypets, Frédéric Teschner, Mathias Schweizer, Fanette Mellier, Daniel Eatock, Marian Bantjes, Siggi Eggertsson, Richard Niessen and Atak.
We are really looking forward to having a look at their contributions! 
The book will be in your favorite bookstore this friday, the 13th the 26th of november.
