The French duo Antoine+Manuel have been making work together for more than ten years. The designers have worked on a wide range of projects from designing campaigns for theaters to constructing crazy 3-d sculptures to designing furniture and home decor. This book is a huge compilation of their work which all feels really fresh to me. There’s lots of amazing typographic treatments and some really cool looking illustrations, pages from sketchbooks and the invitation made for a Christian Lacroix show. The book has a few essays in the back from Christian Lacroix, Emmanuelle Huynh, Daniel Larrieu, Jean-Marc Grangier and more, that I can’t read- hopefully you’re fluent in French. Get a copy here. Read more about them here. See all of their work here. Thanks to my friend Jess (once again) for the the introduction.
