| Studio visit : Poa Plume in Bordeaux ! |
perso / february 18th / 11.09 AM/from Cap d'Agde near Sète / Nick Drake Three Hours |
|
The Studio Poa Plume is french design company from Bordeaux. I follow them for, I have to admit, more than 10 years ! They will celebrate their 20th anniversay so, it is a long story... I love visiting studio, sharing experience and creative feeling with other designers... And when it is very nice guys (and girls) like this, time is too short...

We also share the same passion for old commercial from early 1900's books. And the studio, even with big clients and budgets, always communicate with humour... an exemple... a small card which said "Found me a good design agency in the next 2 seconds or you are fired... Easy, do you know Poa Plume ?"... Better than "Our design team can found the best solution for your communication", no ? If I was a client, choice would be easy ! |

The big project of the team for the past years is the books of August Derrière. I already present the first book here, and the second one came out last year. It is really hard to understand the jokes from non french speaking readers, but only the design worth it... For this second edition, they even design and sell postcards and posters... An exellent exemple of designers who found a good way to have fun (and money seeing the numer of copies sold !) with their self initated projects.

Back in Drôme area, there is a lot of snow and it is very cold here, -10°C when we wake up this morning. But snow is magical... Anyway, something wired happen these past days... I like to share positive things with you, but also to share the bad things ;) Remember we put all our stuff in a rental box to travel ? It is very cold in France right now, and a water pipe froze and broken and water flow everything ! I have lost a lot of things and lose time to with insurance, etc...
