I chose symbolic porcelain blooms and birds and ribboned typography for the poster commemorating the 20th anniversary edition of the Chaumont International Graphic Design Biennial Biennale Internationale de Design Graphique le Signe CNDG. An assemblage photographer and partner Eddy Wenting Photography and I shot as a complete set, rather than compositing. Only the handmade ribbon typography was added later.

The posters by the twenty designers invited at the time were later included in the French cultural heritage collection. I was chuffed when mine eventually made its way to the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam Amsterdam poster collection, and incredibly happy with its inclusion in the magnificent Posters by Color book compiled by Thomas Castro.

Some moments behind the scenes at the time… (so nice to look back!)❤️

It’s one thing creating work and setting it loose into the world. It’s quite another to see it return years later in a magnificent publication. ‘Posters by Color’ by Thomas Castro highlights Amsterdam’s incredible collection of more than 20,000 posters - from underground protest stencils to benchmarking exhibition designs - with more than 500 posters arranged by colour. A beautiful way to discover connections between works from different times and places. And somewhere in the middle of all that history and visual culture, my Chaumont poster appears.❤️

Compiled by Thomas Castro and published by . If you love graphic design and collectible books, this one’s for you.

Adrianna Bajkowska — Being a Designer

An illustrated publication that visualises the emotions and perspectives of young artists. The work is based on research conducted among two age groups: individuals aged 20–29 and those aged over 30. The author explored whether designers can express themselves through text or drawing. Using illustration, she juxtaposed the experiences of mature designers with the perspectives and ambitions of those at the start of their career path who are still searching for their artistic and design identity. The project creates a space for intergenerational dialogue, inviting reflection on the present moment, observation, and analysis of ongoing change.

Egor Severin — Contours of the Future

A conceptual project featuring a series of artefacts crafted from charcoal, shaped into the forms of design tools. Created using traditional woodcraft and charring techniques, the objects metaphorically reflect the shifting nature of contemporary design practices. Charcoal—a fragile and staining material—embodies the responsibility of the designer and their impact on the world. The project offers a critical perspective on the legacy and past values of the profession, inviting reflection on the role of designers in today’s society. These tool-artifacts leave both physical and symbolic marks with every touch and “use”—just as every project leaves behind traces for which the designer is accountable.

Zuzanna Tomaszewska — soluna
A set of ritual vessels created to support psychedelic therapy
with psilocybin. The vertical composition of five elements references the structure of a rite of passage: preparation, experience and integration. The combination of porcelain and PLA materials creates a tangible dialogue between complementary opposites. The engraved symbols draw on Slavic traditions, such as solar motifs and figures that embody light and shadow, as well as life and transformation. Soluna stems from an understanding of design as a tool for creating “quiet” care and consciously avoids the overstated aesthetics of pop psychedelia. Its subtle form and visual language function as an integral part of the therapeutic process. It is a material expression of an experience that requires calm, presence and intention.
