Books

First monograph dedicated to one of the most renowned independent French graphic design studios.
This work showcases an original and unprecedented analysis of its work around key words: Compose, cartridges, fluorescences, frame, image, at the margin , enlighten ... He focuses on its cultural and corporate creations but also in statistical production data, in the production of images and tries to define what, beyond a style, has become over time a brand factory, a graphic direction.
What can we see if we take a better look at the graphic objects designed by ABM Studio? That is to say approach them in detail, without keeping them far from each other as they appear to us in life.
This book, conceived by graphic designers Huz & Bosshard, tries out this patient exercise by starting with images produced by the studio in recent years; lighting that dialogues with the points of view of Élodie Boyer and Pierre-Yves Cachard.
