In 1992, visionary planners transformed an abandoned Munich airport into an “eco-utopian” community. Concrete runways were replaced with tree-lined bike paths. Today, residents of this car-less district invest in projects that directly benefit the community. With only 30 jars of this honey made each year, it was important to bring the story of this unique community to life in the packaging.

Wiki Wiki's bold approach to Poke seafood dishes led us to take an equally bold approach: black and white, bold colours, and a dynamic identity. The new restaurant has been seen in Grand Rapids as "a piece of Amsterdam" within a city known for its Americana and provenance-based visual landscape. While engaging with the client, the brief came as a manifesto to move away from the Americana cues, or the Hawaiian "tiki" cues.

Ian's work is the dynamic engagement of interior and exterior spaces with bold, unapologetic, masculine forms. This identity plays with negative space and forms around it, including the air around the paper itself. A customised verison of Classic Grotesque with its angled edges and refined forms compliments the immaculate detailing of Ian's work.
