An act of restitution

Caffè Nazionale is a historic bar on Piazza Libertà in Arzignano, a small city in Veneto, Italy, which was the social heart of the town – a place for conversation, card games, billiards, and the daily ritual of an espresso at the bar – for generations, before falling into closure and decline.

Gloopy, bubbly, occasionally borderline illegible

It’s always confusing, surprising and slightly disappointing when you come across art or design-focused brands, agencies, platforms, publications or organisations that seem to have a total disregard for what they look like – as though their own central premise and raison d’etre is at odds with their look and feel. I won’t name names, because that feels both mean and...

Kombi by Polygraphe, 2025

A logo can become a confusing mess when too much is expected of it. Fundamentally, it just needs to be distinct, own-able and simple enough to function across all relevant contexts. How that’s arrived at? That’s up to the designer. By all means, throw everything at the process to meet these requirements but it’s often a process of reduction and...
