    Simply perfect 1968 ad for Sunn Amplifiers. After a quick search I found some more.

    Fantastic collection of German matchbox labels from the 1960s and 1970s. Simple graphics and beautiful color palettes.

    Benno Wissing

    July 26th, 2010

     

    Not many have heard of Benno Wissing (1923 – 2008), but in my book he goes down as one of the greatest designers of the last 100 years. Along with Ben Bos and Wim Crouwel, he founded the influential studio, Total Design. Wissing also worked as a painter, illustrator, set designer and architect, but is best known for his signage design for Schiphol Airport in 1967. In the 80’s he was invited to be a professor of design at the Rhode Island School of Design.

    The excellent site NAGO has a massive gallery of Wissing’s work. I still haven’t had the time to get through it all — I’m only on page 8. Also, check out the monograph Benno Wissing: Grafische & ruimtelijk ontwerpen.

    Pan Am Destination Posters

    June 16th, 2010

     

    These beautiful and mysterious Pan Am posters were designed in 1971 by Chermayeff & Geismar. What’s remarkable about these posters — other than the minimal design and the use of Helvetica — is the power of the photography. The simple, sometimes monocromatic, images make a clear statement about the location and inspire the viewer. You can see a few other examples here and here.

    DCrit student Frederico Duarte did a little digging and discovered some interesting info about the posters. You can read the story on the Eye Magazine blog and in a feature.

    Metro40 by BMW Designworks

    BMW Group DesignworksUSA, in collaboration with Landscape Forms, has designed Metro40, a stunning collection of site furniture for street-scapes and transit environments. The collection includes a shelter, trash receptacle, bench, bike rack, bollard, lights and poster display. The entire collection is brilliantly designed, but the piece that stands out for me is the bench.

    The design is streamlined and simple and makes use of some fine materials. I personally love the sweeping curves and how the legs are one continues piece that form a part of the back and seat. I’m sure my butt would appreciate sitting on one of these.

    New Posters on Blanka’s Flickr

    April 2nd, 2010

     

    The stuff that gets added to Blank’s Flickr page always leaves me amazed. I have no idea where they get all this vintage work from. They’ve recently updated their page with a ton of posters by Hans Neuburg, Herbert W. Kapitzki, Armin Hofmann and Josef Müller-Brockmann, many of them I’ve never seen before.

    Wim Crouwel Archive

    March 30th, 2010

     

    This is one of those online gems that only come around once a year.

    This Dutch site contains an archive of over 500 original designs by Wim Crouwel, most of which I’ve never seen before and that I think are some of his best. Pure brilliance. What’s even better is that there’s a sharp, hi-res version of each. Picking one out of the bunch to display here was a really tough decision.

    You will get lost in this for hours, I guarantee it. If the link doesn’t work just search for Wim Crouwel.

    If anyone can give me more info on the site and the collection, I’d be very grateful.

    Here’s some stellar work by Brazil studio Quadradão. The work definitely has a nice authentic feel that reminds of some of the great classic pieces from the 50s and 60s.

    Here’s some brilliant design work by War Design for adhesive manufacturer Construction Technologies Australia (CTA). I personally love the contrast of the modern design with a very technical product. The beautiful design not only makes the products visual interesting, but it creates a functional labeling system that’s super easy to comprehend.

    Elegant work by French designer Carine Collin. Simple and clean but yet very detailed. I also love the website.
