Graphic Design: Design duo Kasper Florio are back with more monochrome majesty

Larissa Kasper and Rosario Florio are back with SO much good graphic design I don’t even know where to start. Something this Swiss duo drink, or eat, or practice out of hours must contribute to the magic they turn out in their work. Their look-book (if you can call it that, it’s more like a modern manual of good fashion and graphic design) for Christian Hersche’s Summer 2014 collection is astonishingly well put-together. My favourite, however, is Foto: Jim, Zürich which “shows the photographic work of Karlheinz Weinberger, who portrayed the homophile scene in Switzerland during the 1950s and 1980s.” Delightfully interesting and seriously beautiful to look at. What more could you ask for?

An open book displays two pages of abstract collage. The left page features a mix of neutral tones and red accents, while the right page shows bold, geometric shapes in yellow, blue and black.
