Echoes of the Land: Winemakers of Portugal was conceived by photographer and journalist Vivian Bibliowicz as a true portrait of Portugal through those who dedicate their lives to wine.

Chronicling nearly 100 winemakers, the book tells the unique stories embedded in this diverse landscape – from historic wineries to small scale producers in lesser-known terroirs alongside innovative projects and cooperatives sustaining local economies.

Echoes of the Land is more than a book about wine, it is an exploration of identity, tradition and passion. It is a discovery of the stories and the relentless spirit of the winemakers shaping this land.

Rooted in complex explorations of material and form, MOCA's Spring 2025 exhibitions span sculpture, installation, painting, moving images, textiles and sound.

We repurposed the same print run – spanning brochures, posters, and display graphics to create a never ending scroll of inspiration in a series of ever expanding possibilities.

Envisioned by the team behind Ryuko, KOKO is a casual Japanese eatery situated at The Calgary Farmers’ Market’s new West location. Rooted in the visual language of Japanese convenience store culture (konbini), its design serves as a nostalgic nod to the elements that ground us in the familiarity of our daily lives. In Japanese, KOKO can be translated as ‘baby tiger’ — since ‘ko’ means both ‘tiger’ and ‘child’ — which inspired the playfulness of this identity system, brimming with small moments of unexpected joy.

Kapwani Kiwanga’s exhibition Remediation at MOCA expands on her research into how botany has long held a relationship to exploitation and acts of resistance — including how plant life has and may intervene in the rejuvenation of contaminated environments.

Our approach to the exhibition’s design is rooted in Kiwanga’s practice, emphasizing her use of colour and materiality while drawing attention to the many narratives and connectivities expressed throughout her work.

Remediation is co-organized by MOCA and the Remai Modern where it will be presented again in the fall. ​​Kiwanga is among the world’s most important working artists today and will represent Canada at the 2024 Venice Biennale.

Beanstory, a subscription based service for direct to consumer beans, was born with a clear intent to reconnect people to what they eat, where their food comes from and the profound impact their everyday choices have. With a selection of 9 bean varieties consciously sourced from select organic farms around the US, the packaging needed to be bold and considered yet flexible enough to allow for future products. We designed a typeface inspired by the shape of a bean and the letter “B” that is ownable and recognizable, giving room for constant play.

Alberto’s work has focused on both private and public projects, ranging from chapels and houses to large-scale urban plans. This book brings together more than 150 projects organized into six chapters or typologies —ships, dwellings, houses and gardens, towers, ensembles and roofs— that show a universe of explorations around architecture and the city.

This book celebrates the dialogue between simplicity, texture, light and the creative process itself. Designed with clarity and rawness as an invitation to participate and explore both the architecture and the profound thinking imminent in every project. It is a dance between time, space and geometry, and the infinite creative pursuit.

Exploring one singular large format piece, that through the process of construction and deconstruction could transform both content and form.

Dating back to 1879, The Royal Hotel has been lovingly restored by a local family, reimagined for today’s traveller while honouring its strong roots in the community, situated at the heart of Prince Edward County.

We worked alongside architects GPAIA from day one to ensure every detail was considered — influenced by the layers of materiality to its full visual language, we created an identity that weaves together history and a unique sense of place. The logo itself is inspired by the language of cross-stitching and its connection to Prince Edward County’s heritage. Along with designing the visual identity for The Royal our involvement included the website, photography, menu systems, packaging, signage and architectural pieces.

With building construction breaking ground in 2015 our journey with The Royal Hotel has been nothing short of memorable. After designing the brand identity, we were approached to bring the same care and attention to a fully customized website. An invitation for users to explore the hotel and by extension Prince Edward County. The digital experience truly reflects the brand’s essence while seamlessly integrating all of the functionality to fulfill The Royal’s various offerings, including the integration of three booking engines and four restaurant menus. From the visual storytelling found in the seasonally rotating gallery to the custom icons inspired by the hotel’s architecture, we designed unexpected moments for users to uncover.

A physical and digital publication, LAT Magazine is the means by which we connect many viewpoints, perspectives, cultures, stigmas and non-stigmas in a conversation that emanates from cannabis and extends to our everyday life. An initiative of 48North, LAT creates a tangible and porous space in which we can have ongoing dialogues about relevant issues of our time — about art, personal journeys and exploration, amnesty, equality, sex, self-love, and perseverance.

Held by the Design Exchange Museum, the show includes works by Takashi Murakami and KAWS amongst others, and projects by FriendsWithYou and Magic Pony. The identity and exhibit graphics needed to straddle the same art and street worlds occupied by the toys, and were inspired as much by the work of contemporary artists as by the pink and white striped canvas walls that adorn the stands in the food markets of Mexico City.

Translating the magazine to a digital experience meant thinking about how these two formats would uniquely interact and engage, creating a space for global dialogues and perspectives. We designed a custom website for LAT, with an editorial eye, offering a dynamic flow to showcase the photography and writing.

MUT (Mercado Urbano Tobalaba) is a multi-building project based in Santiago, Chile.

ModRec is not just a purveyor of coffee beans from some of the world’s best small-batch roasters, but a singular portal into a world where realness, spontaneity and individualism reign supreme over artifice, pretense and mass culture.

The 2016 annual report is a love letter to cinema and an ode to one of the world’s most renowned and respected cinematic organizations.

This poetic tribute inspired the rest of the design, which eschews conventional format and embraces the beauty and language of film to create a cinematic experience that amplifies TIFF’s mission to transform how we see the world through film.

Vuhl 05, a Mexican supercar, is the brainchild of two brothers with a family legacy in racing. Our involvement began before any bolts were riveted or steel welded. Working with the designers, we helped shape the brand, from the story to the identity to the art direction, the interior graphics, the helmet and all communications. The identity reflects the subtleties of high-end design that are a hallmark of the car. The “05”, the father’s racing number, has its roots in the racing iconography of that time. To capture the visceral quality of the driving experience, we chose a photographic style that is at once gritty and stylish, nostalgic and contemporary. (All car photography: Laurent Nivalle)

As we tried to grasp the essence of the posters we chose to redesign, we found that the relationship between a clear CALL FOR ACTION AGAINST Fascism and the DECRY of the role of fascism was an invitation for a dialog between them. We discovered the beauty of the word ACT within AGAINST as means of engagement. By emphasizing the word FASCISM as boldly, we created singularity in each individual poster yet UNITY when combined.

Political Posters live in contexts of cities, people and textures. They have a power to move people with their own tone and urgency. When repeated side to side they take on a rhythm of their own that begs for engagement at a first read and for thoughtfulness as you go deeper.

Ciudad’s origins lay in an initiative created with renowned architect Alberto Kalach to raise awareness for one of the most ambitious urban and environmental projects in Mexico. Unable to find a typeface that would evoke the city, we designed one, enlisting type designer Georg Seifert (Berlin) to help refine it. We then gave ourselves over to its architectural essence, evolving the font from 2D to sculpture to film. Through this exploration, we discovered that the project wasn’t about the font at all but rather about residing in the space of constant transformation that’s inherent in the cities we live in.

Housed within the iconic Broadview Hotel, The Civic’s identity offers its own nod to Toronto’s gilded past through an experience that honours the spirit of the city’s great civic leaders through a modern reinterpretation of the times. Graphics and language borrow from the turn of the century to create a playful conversation that hints at the gastronomic pleasures to come.

Weighing four kilos, Lucha: A Tribute is easily the biggest book we’ve ever produced. Its heft seems appropriate: this is the world of the luchador as we’ve never seen before: mythical, magical, sometimes harsh and deeply human, thanks to celebrated fashion photographer Andreas Neumann. Invited to the project by editor Paola Gonzalez, we designed and curated the content, re-thinking the many visual vocabularies that exist in lucha libre - from vintage posters to historical photographs – to tell the luchadores’ stories in a truly unique way.

The struggle against injustice is one of humanity’s oldest and greatest ongoing endeavours. It takes on many forms but perhaps one of the most powerful and immediate is the political poster. The Centre for the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG) was founded on the belief in the vital importance of keeping these stories and voices alive. For the identity we needed to honour their role in society, both as catalysts and chroniclers of political posters. Reflecting their soulfulness as fighters for human rights yet leaving room for the posters themselves to shine. There are few projects that touch the core of who we are and what we stand for so profoundly as the CSPG.

One of Canada’s top chefs was re-launching his restaurant, from the space to the menus. A new identity was needed to tell his story. Inspired as much by +tongtong’s marriage of organic elements and contemporary materiality as by Chef Lee’s philosophy of cooking, the identity reflects the essence of what good food is about and the elements that come together to create a memorable dish. Imagery has a raw sensuality and sense of craft that mirrors Chef’s deep love of food, while texts give voice to his sense of playfulness and the restaurant’s spirit of conviviality.
