Design Forum: Czech Design Beyond Boundaries
Posted: November 19, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized Comments Off on Design Forum: Czech Design Beyond Boundaries 
BP&O will be part of a panel discussion at this year’s Czech Design Week. The event, Czech Design Beyond Boundaries, hosted by Design Disco, will take place at 7 pm on the 30/11 at Prague Congress Centre. Having spent some years working from Prague, BP&O will be offering an international perspective on topics such as the delineation between design and art and how Czech design is perceived from the outside as well as sharing the processes involved in the practice of writing about design for a global readership. The event is free for students, and hope that those studying in Prague and are readers of BP&O will consider coming along and speak of their own insights and experiences of design learning in the Czech Republic. More information is available here.

Everlea is a new property development described as a private sanctuary of townhouses located in the Melbourne suburb of Keysborough, an expanding community marked by its space and natural surroundings of native trees, shrubs, parkland and a landscaped network of safe pedestrianised streets. Developed by SB&G, working in collaboration with Bruce Henderson Architects, landscape architects Tract and Kathy Demos, Everlea “offers a pairing of design expertise guided by a vision of individuality.” Naming and visual identity, designed by Studio Brave, is based around the notions of “establishing an authentic life”, “the everlasting landscape” and “space to grow”, and touches upon the themes of family, home, community and environment. This is expressed through a series of commissioned illustrations by UK artist Tom Abbiss Smith. These illustrations link every customer touchpoint, from bound booklets to binder to single house-style sheets and website.
LogoArchive Issue 3 by BP&O (Preview)
Posted: October 30, 2018 Filed under: Art and Design, Uncategorized Comments Off on LogoArchive Issue 3 by BP&O (Preview) 
The first issue of LogoArchive in print was conceived, designed and sent to the printers (for quotation) within a day. It was inspired by a panel discussion that took place the day before at Somerset House as part of the exhibition Print! Tearing It Up. Following a successful launch and a sold-out first issue LogoArchive returns in November with its third release.
LogoArchive Issue 3 will be printed by WithPrint on Colorplan Ebony 135gsm with multiple passes of white ink on an HP Indigo press. It features an eight-page Cyclus 100gsm insert printed with black. These are bound with black staples. As the zine moves into its third issue, it begins to find its feet, moving closer towards its ambition of sharing ideas and the joy of mid-century symbols. An early release of LogoArchive Issue 3 will be available online from counter-print.co.uk at the beginning of November. Sign up for release notifications here.
