‘Terra Incognita’, by photographer @karolinaburlikowska is a collection of collage work inspired by the natural world, moving between observation and invention.
We imagined the zine as a schoolbook with a shiny plastic jacket, each with a unique insert placed in the label holder, and foil stamped bespoke typography.

Last year we designed the first in a series of city guides exploring the designers and craftsmen of Morocco. Developed in collaboration with the editorial team behind @icameforcouscous the small booklet features a utilitarian layout, a combination of paper stocks and foil stamping of the bespoke lettering, inspired by Moroccan tiles, to enrich the cover.
Design and production of @pan_projects business cards. To reflect their diversified and organic architectural practice, more than 30 different paper stocks were hand pressed at @londonbookarts using black foil stamping and blind embossing.
Details from Stargazers by Marta Abbott.
The vegetal textures are printed in silver on an earthy-coloured paper. The dark, textured paper of the jacket is lightened up by a single punched hole on the front and back showing the silver ink.
The works are interleaved with texts by poet Mattia Zaccaro Garau, printed on both sides of translucent paper. The book comes in an oversized envelope echoing the dots on the jacket.
Texts by Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, Jahan Khajavi, Mattia Zaccaro Garau.
Stargazers presents the painting collection of the same name realised by artist @martaabbott between 2019 and 2020. The series was inspired by Rome’s Non-Catholic Cemetery and its eclectic residents, including poets John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley.
The paintings employ natural colours extracted from the cemetery grounds and incorporate photographic images of lichen and moss taken by the artist. Inspired by Abbott’s sensibility for materials and textures, the book features a variety of paperstocks and printing techniques.
Lettering for @kadkarababa latest art installation at @offseasonmargate . The work employs St George’s cross to convey a message of inclusion, reversing the connotations the flag has carried in recent years.
The Antalis’ 2026 desk calendar is a tactile tool to showcase the @creativepower.byantalis paper range. The foldable construction works both as a display and a container. Die-cut holes, reminiscent of punch cards, become a recurring feature that reveal and juxtapose the vibrant colours and textures of the paper stocks. Paired with minimalist, utilitarian typography for the days and months, the design plays with functionality in an understated and playful way. Produced by @identityprint
To celebrate the launch of @stilemancollection , we have designed a printed artefact composed of poster and envelope. The poster showcases products from the collection, in an evocative photo by @olliegtomlinson . Printed on lightweight, slightly translucent paper, the poster sits inside a bespoke envelope with geometric openings and a blind embossed logo. The printed artefact was produced by @identityprint
The website that showcases the products from @stilemancollection features simple layouts, large and immersive imagery and soft page transitions, echoing the spirit and mood of the brand. The collection is presented through an art directed photo campaign shot by @olliegtomlinson , focused on the shapes and materials of the products, and on the atmospheric qualities of the environment lit by these fittings.

London-based lighting design studio @stilemanlighting uses light as an artistic medium, and has launched a considered collection that focuses on simplicity and beautiful materials, @stilemancollection . The brand identity revolves around a bespoke typeface, also used for the logotype, a distinctive brand colour, use of geometric shapes, and refined materials and finishes. This tactile approach has been applied to the stationery: foil stamped logo, coloured borders and embossed paper, produced by @dotstudio .
Marta Abbott @martaabbott is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice reflects a deep curiosity for nature and the non-human natural world, using self-made pigments, analogue photography, and clay. The portfolio website showcases her diverse work through a minimal layout enhanced by subtle interactions and animations, organic typography and a dynamic background that echoes the interplay of light and darkness.
Web Development
@cliffstudiouk
To accommodate and elevate the variety of content of @icameforcouscous , spanning photography, interviews, fiction and poetry, we have developed a flexible graphic system. Balancing the full and colourful with the white space was key to develop the pace of the magazine, resulting in a high-end collectible. The many pieces are typeset in a combination of elegant yet contemporary typefaces. The internal pages alternate coated and uncoated paper, and each issue features a special treatment-section: an insert on different stock and smaller size, a fold out poster or a bookmark ribbon.
