Check out hyper cool French Canadian design collective, Charmant & Courtois
Recently we’ve all been fawning over a Glaswegian studio called Risotto for their super-fun risograph posters, prints and flyers. To be honest, I never thought we’d find an equivalent over the Atlantic in Montreal. Last week, one of our go-to French guys over in Paris, Raphael Garnier, got in touch to tell us about Charmant & Courtois, a French-Canadian design studio with a penchant for printing and some very good parties to go to.
The guys behind these rather wonderful pieces of print are Alex Blouin, Alexis Coutu-Marion, Mathieu Dionne, Slvain Martet, Florian Petigny and Jules Renaud – held together by founding member – and an illustrator I keep safely tucked away in my own personal favourites folder – Gabrielle Lamontagne, who started Charmant & Courtois back in 2009. From the looks of how many party invitations, flyers, and record label catalogues they’ve made, I bet they’re a pretty cool bunch. If you see any of this printed matter flapping around in the breeze in Montreal, please be sure to grab one for me.
