My latest creative venture, Future Figures, an artisanal design partnership between myself and a long term colleague, needed a look and feel and digital presence that accurately reflected our shared ethos.

Future Figures is intentionally small scale and non corporate. We see ourselves as craftsmen making art to help brands build their worlds. We love the idea of design having backstory. Through both the name and look/feel we wanted the brand to convey a feeling of unearthing something from another time and place, hence the name “Future Figures”. For a visual cue-point we immediately looked to scans of ancient carvings and sculptures.

Within our first year of opperation we were asked to present a guest lecture at the Chelsea College of Arts in London, on our ethos, and how the partnership came about.
