Vault49: (Sub)Prime Cuts Hand-Painted Saws

I’m lov­ing these gor­geously hand-painted saws that were cre­ated by Vault49, a NYC-based “artis­tic col­lab­o­ra­tion, a play­ground, and a cre­ative incu­ba­tor for inno­v­a­tive design projects.” The saws are part of an artis­tic project called (Sub)prime Cuts:

Vault49 is doing our bit for the Big Bailout. Budgets are being butchered all around the world, and even worse it’s been done in such bad taste. These finely crafted finan­cial tools should trim the fat nicely. Sink your teeth into these viciously hand-crafted beauties.

Anagrama: Cocolobo Identity and Packaging

Anagrama recently com­pleted this play­ful, fem­i­nine iden­tity, col­lat­eral and pack­ag­ing for Cocolobo, a high-end women’s fash­ion boutique.

Anagrama_Cocolobo_01

Cocolobo is a high-end shop­ping bou­tique that caters exclu­sively to strong women with a con­fi­dent and in vogue fash­ion sense. For the nam­ing, we played with the shop’s main patrons’ char­ac­ter­is­tic dual­ity, in a catchy and fun play with words: “Coco” (coconut in Spanish) and “lobo” (Spanish for wolf). The Cocolobo woman is not only fem­i­nine and sweet, but also inde­pen­dent, aggres­sive, sen­su­ous and dar­ing. The color palette also invests in this polar­ity, with black and white por­tray­ing the ele­gant, sober aspect of the brand and the red rep­re­sent­ing all that is fem­i­nine and chic.
