Congratulations to the entire Louise Fili Ltd staff, John Passafiume and Dana Tanamachi, on being named Young Guns by the Art Director’s Club. An exhibition will be held at the ADC gallery in early October.
Our SVA subway poster has emerged from underground to take its place at the center of the universe, better known as the corner of Third Ave and 23rd Street. We are thrilled that the poster, a whopping three stories tall, features an arrow that points not just to the School of Visual Arts but also to our studio. Come visit us both.
Swipe your metro card and check out Louise Fili Ltd’s new subway poster for School of Visual Arts. The design is an homage to the urban mosaic artisans of the early 20th century, and after hours of painstaking Photoshop work, John and Dana agreed that it may have been easier to create it out of actual tiles. The poster premieres at your local stop today, where it will be until the end of May.
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy, Rizzoli International asked Louise Fili Ltd to design the covers for Romanzi d’Italia, a series of the ten great novels that shaped the nation—from I promessi sposi to Pinocchio. The books have an authentic yet timeless look, employing historical wood type and ornament to approximate the feel of a custom letterpressed hardcover book with a cloth spine. See an interview in Italian with Louise.
Just released! Louise Fili Ltd’s design for SVA’s Senior Library, featuring the work of the graduates of the graphic design department. What better way to present the year’s work than as a box of chocolate confections? See the whole sampler of eye candy here.
Italian orange wrappers collected over the course of decades were the inspiration for Louise Fili Ltd’s postcard design for SVA Masters Workshop in Venice and Rome, where Louise will be teaching in June. Ci vediamo!
We wish we could have been in attendance when the president of Italy was presented with the new series designed by Louise Fili Ltd for Rizzoli. The books, which will be released in January to honor the 150th anniversary of the Italian republic, represent the ten important novels that shaped a nation.
