Giovanni Pintori (1912 – 1999)

August 22, 2016 12:02 AM \

GiovanniPintoriGiovanni Pintori was an Italian graphic designer and painter. He worked in the advertising department of Olivetti typewriters and became the art director from 1950 t0 1967, well known for many of the advertisements and posters of the company. His style is minimalist employing bold colors and geometric shapes. On the website, Giovanni Pintori Research, he is quoted as follows:

“I have always believed in the strength of simple ideas and the demand for clear, immediate language that is accessible to everyone. This doesn’t mean that the language of graphics is downgraded to the most common taste. Just the opposite: it means that the language intends to improve average tastes. This is a goal I set a long time ago.”

One Darnley Road

OneDarnleyRoadLoving the package design for London Fields Soap Company created by East London creative
design agency, One Darnley Road. Probably best to let this creative studio tell you about themselves and about the design process for this project:

“We believe that a good concept becomes great design through inspiration, analysis and experimentation, and we take a hands-on approach to creating effective and beautiful products with a high level of finishing.”

“Launching as an artisan brand in east London, this new company wanted an identity that complimented their handmade, organic and beautiful products. The brand’s ambition is to “bring back the bar”, with soaps that are good for the skin and the environment. For their branding we looked to clean, graphic Art-Deco textile patterns that reflect both a history of craft and a modern sensibility.”

The husband and wife creative team launched their atelier in 2008 as a side project which allowed them to create art prints together.
