The challenge
Exhibition graphics for a show about the river, installed in a gallery with no wall space to spare.
The approach
We printed on offcuts of the gallery's own framing stock and hung them on the framing rails. Nothing was pasted to a wall, so the whole show came down in an afternoon.

Websites
Barro
An identity and a shop that feels like the studio shelves: glaze colours as the only palette, and every product shot in the same north light.
