Christopher Elliott is an Australian interior designer based in Melbourne with a modern luxurious and clean architectural style. His new visual identity, created by Studio Brave, neatly unifies the practicality and functionality expected of contemporary architectural spaces and the fine detailing and high quality of the fabrics and furniture that fill these, through the juxtaposition of the tall and light, geometric, uppercase and reductionist forms of a mono-spaced logo-type, plenty of space and grid-based layout of the website alongside the very classic sensibilities of a tactile, letter-pressed, cream, uncoated substrate, gold metallic spot colour and gilded edges of Christopher’s business card.

Stockholm based graphic and product design studio Bedow have recently developed a new visual identity and stationery solution for Askeroths Trappor och Räcken, a small Swedish manufacturer of specialist staircases. Based around a simple but identifiable abstraction, the logo-mark captures the elemental, functionality and practicality of staircases and the solid technical abilities of the craftsmen through the combination of a single, consistent line weight, basic geometry and nice balance of positive and negative space. Its hand-stamped and bright red overprint treatment across a typographic choice that features small curves added to square terminals, ample letter-spacing and a low lowercase X height introduces more of a personal, creative and crafted sensibility. The diagonal build and large proportions of the mark alongside the small detail and horizontal layout of the type delivers an interesting and communicative contrast of statement style and fine detail, weighty reliability and a sense of movement.
