Associates since 1993, graphic designers Antoine and Manuel work mainly in the spheres of culture and fashion. Their graphic interventions cover a broad spectrum – visual identities, editorial design, furniture design, exhibitions and installations. When creating the visual identity for the Lambert Collection in Avignon, they wanted it to be warmer and more intimate than those of other institutions. They also illustrate the collections of Christian Lacroix (catalogues, invitations…) as well as producing season posters for the Centre Chorégraphique Nationalde Tours and the Comédie de Clermont theatre; their work for the latter institution is typified by gouache illustrations and typography. For the CCNT they have elected to use a supple and structured style based on ramificationsand arborescences as the recurring motif for each season. They graphic-design exhibition catalogues for the Galerie Yvon Lambert (those for artists Koo Jeong-A and Bertrand Lavier, for instance), and have also carried out editorial projects for the Festival de Cahors, the Pompidou Centre and the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris. Antoine and Manuel have developed a refined, luxurious graphic language whose delicate geometry decorates the murals produced in the Galeries Lafayette Maison homewares store in Paris. Their work in the field of furniture design embraces this graphic vocabulary, adding a fresh dimension to their world.

Their first monograph design&designer 032 – Antoine+Manuel was in 2005 as the book series by French Pyramyd Editions.

Paris-based Pyramyd Editions has regularly been publishing monographs since 2002 featuring work by selected artists, graphic and product designers. These bilingual monographs form part of a series called Design & Designer. The books contain introductions and descriptions in French and English for the many featured project visuals. Each publication title has a serial number (such as Designer & Designer 033 – FL@33).

In some cases – especially within the first 25 of the series – a second and even third edition was published with fresh new content and a 'v.2' or 'v.3' added to the book title. Other titles go out of print and do not seem to be reprinted in the foreseeable future (such as Antoine+Manuel's book for example). At time of writing this text the Designer & Designer series already reached serial number 086.

A few selected titles are available here especially by some of our own contributors who already created button badges and more for Stereohype. Fill any gaps you may have in your collection or start yours today.
