Editorial and graphic design with a strong conceptual and typographical bias.
Our designs set out from the assignment’s individual characteristics. Each new project poses a new question that demands a novel answer. Our approach is critical and exploratory, which leads to distinctive results that are highly diverse. No single design is the same.

An unusual concept to frame extraordinary work *
Corporate website of Studio Piet Paris. The design splits the browser window in two to give space for a horizontal scroll, at the left hand site, presenting all images of the work. While simultaneously at the right hand site, text accompanies the imagery and lead you further through the navigation of the website.Besides a selection of illustrations, the website presents the studio's other activities, namely product design and consultancy work.

subtle structure
In this corporate identity design the centre line structures the dataflow, showing left of the centre line all general information - where the company name literally pops up - and on the right the more specific information. The addressee and reference can therefore be found in the light grey area on the right-hand side of the stationary. Also, on the business card the personal information is printed on the right-hand side of the fold, printed crosswise on the company name. To keep unity between the two halves the left line recurs as a formal element. Differences in font sizes create a further distinction between the types of information. Coppens & Alberts additionally designed a poster for the festive inauguration of the new name, signifying the official handing over of the company. The poster shows the silhouettes of the predecessors on the reverse, shining through the silhouettes of the three new partners on the front.Commissioned by oomen Architecten, 2006—07
