LABT is a furniture design studio in Ghent that issues small-batch furniture editions (like the modular, patterned filing cabinets shown in our Maison & Objet roundup). One pair of LABT designers happens to be graphic design duo Jan & Randoald, who created this pastiche brochure to hand out at the fair. -
Jan & Randoald's LABT catalog comprises five mini-booklets, attached with a simple brad-and-paper fastener along the spine. -
I was introduced to Domison out of Montreal while making the rounds at Toronto's annual Interior Design Show. Brother-and-sister team Thien and My Ta Trung design their own modern, super liveable furniture collection as well as the brand's graphic identity. This brochure highlights Domison's apartment-scale furniture with simple printing (monochrome with touches of neon pink) and complex folds. -
