Concept and art direction for the first Glory Paper publication, a collective photobook featuring the work of 19 photographers including Anthony Seklaoui, Matzo & Matzo, Marie Quéau etc. Exploring the concept of archives, this project questions traditional image preservation and metadata structures. Using large language models, we generated precise, structured descriptions to manipulate the image corpus as a dynamic dataset. We then developed custom web-to-print software to design the layout from this imperfect yet poetic data. The companion web experience of the publication is accessible online at paper.glorylab.fr →, where the immersive and interactive experiences showcased during the launch are accessible.
Concept, art direction, and publishing for The Devil From You, a photobook by Paul Declercq. Through his travels around the world, Declercq has developed a singular eye for street life, capturing a distant voyeurism and a fascination with youthful innocence through analog photography. This monograph introduces a secondary narrative that complements his imagery, where repetition, gaze, and temptation dictate both the layout and the physical construction of the book. Released for his 2025 Tokyo exhibition, the 84-page publication was printed in black Risograph at Quintal Atelier in Paris.
In collaboration with Celine's Image Department, we developed communication assets for the collections and runway shows under Creative Director Michael Rider. Translating his vision for the house’s new direction, the visual identity relies on an analog and heavily textured approach. From physical print collateral to digital campaign announcements, the art direction prioritizes material warmth, film grain, and subtle imperfection—capturing the tactile quality of the garments while establishing a coherent graphic framework across all seasonal launches and event touchpoints.
For the Paris debut of Weis Manufacturing, a Brooklyn-based brand specializing in high-end steel and titanium bicycles, we developed the complete event identity and campaign assets. Playing on the extreme desirability and premium craftsmanship of their frames, we built a satirical concept around Paris bike theft, framing the showcase as an overwhelming "business opportunity" for local thieves and hustlers. The art direction was rolled out across wildposting posters, digital media, limited-edition zines, and event merchandise.
As Europe’s largest handmade bicycle show, Bespoked expanded internationally in 2026 with its inaugural Japan edition. To elevate and unify the brand identity across borders, we were commissioned to design the visual language and campaign assets for all three 2026 exhibitions in London, Dresden, and Osaka. The art direction explores technical schematics, frame geometry, and custom component craftsmanship, delivering a high-end graphic system that matches the precision and expectations of the global framebuilding community.
Charbon Cycles is the production frame brand from Stolen Garage, a framebuilding workshop and bike café based in Le Pré-Saint-Gervais. We were commissioned to build a complete brand identity rooted in the essential material behind their steel frames: carbon (charbon). Expanding on this raw element and the versatility of their bikes—built to transition seamlessly from city streets to raw nature—we created a comprehensive visual identity. Deliverables included a launch film, website design, product and campaign art direction, printed zines, and event-specific collateral.
Quokka Cycles is a custom steel bicycle brand with a strong emphasis on bespoke graphic design, where tailored visual schemes complement the identity of each unique frame. Working closely with framebuilder Kang, we develop distinct visual universes for individual builds, elevating every bicycle with the meticulous detail and finish that custom framebuilding demands.
In collaboration with Stolen Garage, a bicycle manufacture and bike café in Le Pré-Saint-Gervais, we designed a custom bicycle and graphic scheme embodying the visual universe of our studio, Département.Global. The resulting art direction serves as the foundation for an ongoing partnership, extending across future frame builds, special paint executions, and upcoming clothing lines.
Love letter, turbo is the independent publishing imprint of Département.global, dedicated to documenting alternative cycling culture. Its inaugural 2024 issue spotlights framebuilders, artists, and athletes who champion the non-competitive side of cycling. This first publication focuses on craft, community, and the creative spirit behind modern bike culture.
For the second issue of Love letter, turbo in 2025, we collaborated with inspiring creative partners and brands, including Mash SF, Vetra Bikes, and Guillaume Rossi. Wanting to explore Risograph printing further, we conceived a format entirely distinct from the debut entry: a volume composed of 13 individual zines bound together with screw posts. Each zine was made available both as a standalone release and within the complete compiled edition. It was printed and fabricated in-house entirely.
