Vanessa Eckstein's Business Perspective Article

Origen México

ORIGEN MÉXICO reaches across time and space to deliver narratives that are multiple, rich, and authentic. This book honours the inherent beauty of the country and gives immense gratitude to those who have moved us to see further and deeper. All of the profits from the book support accessible education in Mexico.

El Zanjón

El Zanjón is one of Argentina’s most significant archaeological sites, painstakingly restored over the past 38 years by Jorge Eckstein. We designed an identity system, digital experience and created content that captures El Zanjón’s distinctive architecture, landmark buildings and hidden labyrinth of vaulted brick tunnels.

The Royal Hotel

Influenced by the layers of materiality to its full visual language, we created an identity that weaves together history and a unique sense of place. The logo itself is inspired by the language of cross-stitching and its connection to Prince Edward County’s heritage.

MOCA GTA21

Greater Toronto Art 2021, brings together twenty-one of the most energizing artists and art collectives working in Toronto and asks each one of them to consider, “What is urgent to you today?”. We were invited by MOCA to design the exhibition identity, environmental graphics and printed publication of this large scale exhibition and new triennial.

NU

NU is a production company committed to building stories that stand at the intersection of art and social change. Their projects vary from TV, Features, Documentaries to Auditory and Experimental. We designed a bold and explorative identity system, both in form and content to honor its experimental spirit and its mandate of creative independence.

førs

At the core of førs, our product design studio, is the understanding that objects carry meaning and can transform our everyday lives. The identity with its bold soulful visual language alludes to the company’s poetic intent. We designed everything — from the name, visual identity and custom e-commerce website, to the packaging and tableware itself.

LAT

A physical and digital publication, LAT Magazine is the means by which we connect many perspectives, cultures, stigmas and non-stigmas in a conversation that emanates from cannabis and extends to our everyday life. An initiative of 48North, LAT creates a tangible and porous space to have ongoing dialogues about relevant issues of our time.

F8

As 48North leads the way into rethinking our relationship with cannabis, we were invited to develop a new line of products called F8 / F8TE. We loved the challenge to design products that balance the beauty of the experience and interact seamlessly into our lives.

Superkül - Identity

Inspired by the balance of subtlety, spatial richness, and geometric forms found in the firm’s work, the new superkül identity is based in interplay of colour, shape and materiality. Celebrating their first ten years, we set out to create a book with intuitive experience that would reflect the firm’s unique philosophy and design approach.

KOKO

KOKO is a casual Japanese eatery situated at The Calgary Farmers’ Market’s new West location. Rooted in the visual language of Japanese convenience store culture (konbini), its design serves as a nostalgic nod to the elements that ground us in the familiarity of our daily lives.
