The only poster house that pairs a line from a great wit with a photograph of a historical design object

For adults in France and the EU who buy for a wall that says something.

A wall that says something

Design lovers who know Braun, Olivetti or the Bauhaus. A living room or a study that wants wit, not slogans. A meaningful present for a departure, a graduation or a birthday. A studio, an agency or a practice dressing its walls.

A bright studio with a long oak table, plans and chairs, and three framed black-and-white photographs of machine parts on a plaster wall — *Studios, agencies, practices.*

A small study with a walnut desk, a brass lamp, shelves of books and a framed black-and-white photograph of a typewriter on a green wall — *Living rooms and studies.*
