Influenced by social and cultural tensions, the topic of prejudice regarding Arabic/Persian typography remains as important as ever. To counteract these biases, we aimed to expose Persian typography on garments, offering people the opportunity to experience the beauty and detail of Arabic typography in a playful context.

This project is the outcome of a workshop with Golnar Kat Rahmani at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.”

This collection of scarves is inspired by a meme which states: “if you see this [object] in your neighborhood your rent is about to increase”.
This series of scarves aims to humorously expose the fact that the work of designers in Western societies benefits from a strong value of authenticity. Design pieces are most often accessible to those who have sufficient financial and/or cultural capital to acquire them, thus creating an element of exclusivity.

Accidental typeface research, initiated within the framework of the international evening school for working and studying youth ‘BAUHAUS/VKHUTEMAS’ in 2021.
Subsequently, the study of the Constructivist era through the font developed into an author’s project in which the font acts as a basis for further design.

In this project, the font is at the heart of a jewellery ring. The word ‘RING’ girdles the finger closes in on itself. The ring is made of sterling silver with subsequent blackening.

My works is a symbol of the devaluation of language and words in the modern world. Inspired by Picasso’s painting “Guernica” and posters by Petar Bankov, my graphics convey the experience of war, where the language of visual expression becomes more powerful than words. These works do not contain phrases or inscriptions.
The graphics are printed on plastic clothes, creating the effect of a transparent layer. This symbolizes the imprint of chaos and suffering on our daily lives.

In this project, the font is the basis for the pattern of the scarf. On one side is the word Bauhaus, on the other side is VHUTEMAS.

The soles of our feet are an intimate spot – grounding us while holding us. They are rarely public, covered by socks and tights and shoes. Here, fragile words are stored, born out of doubt, insecurity, vulnerability, frustration and anger, hidden away from peeking eyes, allowing to only be seen by those closest to us. Printed on white tennis socks with anti-slip ink, the words carry the one who wears them without slipping away.

This work is part of a series that draws a parallel between the screen and knitting. Through a set of typographic experiments, the project questions the effect produced by using one or the other. Each piece is the occasion for the evocation or transposition of images from one media to the other. This piece plays with the double-sided nature of knitting. An ambigram was designed so that both the word ‘recto’ (front) and the word ‘verso’ (back) can be read depending on the side of the fabric.

Each piece is the occasion for the evocation or transposition of images from one media to the other. This piece takes its inspiration in the LCD screen and its subpixels. Vertical stripes of bright colors create optical vibrations giving an overall sense of motion to the piece.

Each piece is the occasion for the evocation or transposition of images from one media to the other. This piece explores relief knitting. A technique used in sock making is employed to form 3d pixels, thus taking advantage of some of the possibilities offered by the knitted fabric.

Each piece is the occasion for the evocation or transposition of images from one media to the other. Here the fabric mimics the aspect of LED displays such as commonly found in buses. The piece takes the shape of a very long ribbon echoing the scrolling of the text on this kind of displays.

This limited edition cap was designed for the students of Studio for Immediate Spaces at Sandberg Institute. Their graduation show, The Great Interior, went in search of “a new type of interior that includes rather than excludes; an interior which contains the whole landscape and our lives within.” The cap functions as a way to carry the great interior with them wherever they go.

The typography project delves into the fusion of fashion and typography, juxtaposing the voluminous nature of fashion with the rigid, unyielding structures of typography. Through the exploration of a classic sans serif font, the project aims to transcend norms, breathing life and depth into a sans-serif structure. This endeavor is not merely about aesthetics but a profound investigation, seeking to merge two seemingly disparate realms into a harmonious synergy of form and expression.

MORF FORM is a physical animation piece. It shows the word “morf” transforms to “form” at three different phases. It was knitted on a hacked Brother knitting machine and the knitting pattern was generated from a knitting. The work was on display at ARTECHOUSE Miami during Art Basel Miami 2023.

The series of photographs is presented shrouded in darkness, with only one or almost only one source of light, the verses of poems projected directly on the bodies of the posing models. This combination combines the worlds of typography and fashion, creating a unique visual experience.

The fashion industry is a master of weaving narratives that sell not just garments, but ideals—promising us a slice of originality, authenticity, and even concepts like peace, love, and sustainability. Slogans on clothing collections serve as powerful marketing tools, luring consumers with the allure of social responsibility and moral virtue. Yet, beneath the surface, questions linger about the tangible impact of these messages and the authenticity of mass-produced fashion.

JUAN VG is not just a brand, it’s a statement. It’s for those who dare to stand out, who embrace their individuality with pride. These pieces are a expressions of freedom, creativity, and rebellion. From edgy hand-painted designs to bold airbrush creations, each garment tells a story of defiance and authenticity. Born in Valladolid, the designs draw inspiration from the raw energy of the grunge scene in contrast with the Spanish “pijo” style. creating a style that is both distinctive and daring.

Berlin. Paris. New York. These are all places where designer Lisa Deurer is present at Fashion Weeks with her brand LD-13. Somewhere between glossy and punk, her creations are always characterised by the avant-garde. To match this, we have customised a new look that is always loud where it is allowed to be, and takes a back seat wherever fashion and photos take centre stage.

The “W Glitch” is a limited-edition t-shirt that delves into the interplay between our digital and physical identities, examining the effects when these two realms intersect. The shirt showcases a distorted typographic composition that introduces contrast and tension, yet maintains a harmonious and cohesive fashion piece.

“The Festival for New Music” is a two-day event at the Konzerthaus Bielefeld for the free interpretation of classical music in the transition to improvisation and experimentation. New shoes for new paths. The somewhat differently staged admission ticket in the form of a Typo Chuck for a “meet & greet” behind the scenes.

The idea of the workshop was combining random pocket founds via scanning and editing into posters. The concept of the workshop is from Sandra Doeller.
In the next step the designs were transferred onto scarfs. The most interesting frames of both were picked and then the colors on one scarf was changed entirely and on the other one the color scheme of the original poster was recreated.
The original pocket founds: astrology book, wrapping paper of a lemon fruit caramel, (diamond) card
