BP&O Collections — Blind Embossing

Opinion by Richard Baird Posted 27 October 2017

A continually updated gallery of brand identity, packaging and graphic design, reviewed and published on BP&O, that feature a blind emboss or debossed detail. This post features work by Bibliothèque, Triboro and Bedow, and covers a variety of projects, from restaurants and lighting architects to galleries and fashion labels.

Blind embossing has been used in a few different ways. These include simple stylistic flourishes, an exploration of the intersection of the graphic and material, and those grounded in the more conceptual. These conceptual approaches include the framing of words for art gallery Galerija Kranjčar, a recurring H motif by Mucho for Héctor Ayuso, and a reference to light and shade by Triboro for their work with lighting architects L’Observatoire International.
