Hero — Raphaël Garnier: Cola Maya Scarf

Work / Graphic Design

An old favourite is back with sparkling new updates, here’s Raphaël Garnier

Words by Liv Siddall, Thursday 18 April 2013

We love Raphaël Garnier, his wonderful French mind is capable of conjuring up all kinds of weird and wonderful shapes that are a trip inside the hazy limbo between graphic design and illustration. He’s been a bit of a man of mystery of late (yes, any artist without a website is a “mystery”) but now he’s back and bigger than ever with a very professional website, which launches tomorrow, and a new exhibiton under his belt.

Stuck Inside of Mobiles, Raphaël’s recent show in collaboration with Sixpack France was exhibited in Paris last month, and featured “fictional topography of his own underground world.” Because that’s the best part about Raphaël’s work, it’s like some kind of mystical eco-system that only he understands but that you can recognise tiny parts of. His ability to translate his infamous illustration into pieces of fascinating ceramics and textiles is just a hint at how far he is going to go, and we want him to take us along for the ride.

Work / Graphic Design New York-based agency T&T&T are in it for “$$$$$, fame and graphic bliss”

“I think my main ideal is to try and not take myself too seriously, and steer clear of the type of self-important vibes that one might encounter in our industry,” says Mory Talmor, founder of Talmour & Talmour & Talmour. Having made the move to independent practice just over a year ago, with previous employers including Sagmeister & Walsh and Wednesday NYC, Mory launched T&T&T in August. “After a while of working for (and learning from) other people, I felt like it was time to try and start my own thing, and finally have complete control over the music playing in the background,” he explains. “This might mean keeping my aesthetics light and fun (when possible) or by playing around with conceptions of high-brow Vs low-brow in my work, or just by trying to take things with a grain of salt when speaking passionately with client about a nav-bar in a digital-editorial-branded-content-hub.”
