In 2017 Australian furniture retailer Cult celebrated its 20th anniversary. They marked this with an event and exhibition and worked with design studio Toko to develop a graphic identity to unify these and bring to light their extensive catalogue. Through a mix of bright illustrative silhouettes across invitations, packaging, postcards, flags and banners, the art direction of some Cult’s ranges, and an eye-catching bright red die cut cover, Toko play with a graphic immediacy and follow this up with layers of material and photographic detail.

UNSW Built Environment (BE) intends to develop global leaders in architecture, planning and construction, and help shape resilient, connected, smart and inclusive future cities through its undergraduate, postgraduate and postgraduate research courses. As part of this, the faculty also runs an annual programme of events for students, academics, industry professionals and the general public. These serve as a platform to find out more about the faculty and raise the awareness of and seek to address critical issues that concern the built environment.
Australian design studio Toko worked with UNSW BE to develop a faculty graphic identity and the spacial design of their Luminocity exhibition; a collection of student projects drawn from all seven degree courses and bring to light what it might be like to design and build tomorrow’s cities. Assets included graduate and postgraduate guides, posters and website, signage, banners, display system and layout.

The exhibition ‘Carlos Garaicoa, The Politics and Poetics of Space’ brought to light and incorporates several different stories. It explored the city as a place people live and reside. It talked of the buildings that were founded on power and political ideologies. And of the ruins of those that enjoyed a former greatness or were too troubled to ever see completion. The exhibition featured a variety of art forms and techniques. These were unified by the theme of architectural perspective, which was then explored throughout graphic identity, designed by Work In Progress, using constructed points of view.
