FormLAB
&Form is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and have newly established FormLAB, a design lab that creates fresh visual communication by interweaving typographic design, creative coding, motion graphics, sound and architecture.
The concept of FormLAB is to explore the things we find truly exciting, to experiment widely, across mediums and spaces, and to challenge and improve ourselves while enjoying the process.
We plan to incorporate a healthy amount of experimentation into our process, and let the fresh ideas we develop through our explorations find their way into client work. Our emphasis is on building identities with a consistent concept from analog to digital, across surfaces and spaces, which can respond to changes in the environment, creating what we call “Dynamic Identity”.

WOW New Year Card 2020
Designing two versions of the initial letter of each word; Happy New Year, a transitional process in which one letter links to the other was rendered by visual programming. Using different processes such as offset and silkscreen printing, and embossing, the skillful artisans manually put together the cards one by one. Non-contrived beauty was sought by combining processes involving designing, visual programming and printing.
