/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

Heury & Heury

Heury & Heury is a French design studio (and a brother / sister collective) – and their accomplishments are what most of us – still consider dreams.

1. Break the rules
2. Do what you love
3. Don’t compare to others

_______
Their approach is minimalist – reductionist in fact. Keep only what is essential. B&Wth is
a perfect example (in 3 models)!

_______

They self-publish a magazine – aptly titled: Duo: of course right? Worth reading the interviews with Berger & Föhr + Anton & Irene (who were featured on ND).

_______

ndlr: If you want to know more about their collaboration read their Medium intro (if you speak French that is).

Built by Civilization

Built by Civilization is not only an audacious studio name but the complexity inferred by such naming – is transferred and fit into a very simple in appearance website.

_______

May take easily hours to visit. Brilliant!

_______

That logo is both inspirational and scary. Everything they do is cutting-edge or cutting through whatever edges left.

_______

ndlr: For inspiration – read Beyond This Point a series of conversations engaging the creative thinkers who inspire us.. and the Design Lectures (from which the poster comes from).
