Concept Creation—Ramy Youssef Cover Story in Kinfolk Issue Fifty-Five.
The direction for the @kinfolk cover shoot featuring @ramy explored the space between portraiture and process, revealing the studio itself, breaking the fourth wall and embracing movement, introspection and personal presence. A timeless yet slightly offbeat atmosphere shaped through light, gesture and subtle imperfections.

By @studio8585 : Publication design for “Sicily,” the first photo book from Canadian-born, Copenhagen-based photographer Armin Tehrani, which spans his multiple trips to the southern Italian island between 2022 and 2025.
Part travelogue and part dreamy moodboard, the book highlights the rhythm and texture of everyday life in the region—and Tehrani’s own richly atmospheric world.

New work: Art direction, photography and production for ONDA, the new pendant lamp by @grupa_studio , crafted from hand-blown glass and finished in soft, hand-painted gradients.
New work: For @krassky.lv , we led a comprehensive brand strategy and identity redesign to reflect the scale of their operations today while preserving the sensibility that defines their work.
Founded in 2005 and now delivering bespoke, turn-key interiors worldwide, the new identity is conceived as a flexible framework—one that balances expertise and emotion, precision and expression. Designed to support collaboration with many of the world’s top 500 interior design brands, it brings clarity and consistency across projects while keeping the work human, considered and quietly expressive.
The scope included brand strategy, visual identity, art direction and a complete design system across touchpoints. The new wordmark, alongside the broader identity, features Krassky Sans, a bespoke customization of the Exat typeface by @hottypeco .
