David Collins Studio

Contemporary and classic

David Collins Studio is one of the most respected interior design studios in the world. All of their work bears their mark of excellence — a carefully managed mix of modern and classic, an almost obsessive attention to details and a love of luxurious craftsmanship. Their projects are unique, timeless, and always with a touch of glamour and drama. 

  • To translate their moto, I created a ‘hybrid’ logo — a subtle mix of serif and sans serif echoing the juxtaposition of the classical and modernist tension. From the logo, I have then developed a full typeface, DCSynthesis 74, the voice of the brand.

    The website, developed in collaboration with the studio FutureCorp, is structured as a catalogue with two view modes: a configurable and explorative index and a minimally interactive, endlessly scrolling editorial layout. Interaction is deliberately pared down to an absolute minimum, with the user only able to scroll and tap through a seamless mix of intriguing projects.

    We have worked with the high-end printers Imprimerie du Marais to create a hand-finished suite of stationery items.
