Commission of a table centre for the Brit Insurance Awards Gala at the Design Museum, London.
The menu for the dinner Gala was written using a technique similar to the one used to write on cakes, but in this case made using rubber.
The gaps between the handwritten letters become as important as the letters themselves, making the information look like decoration.

Based on the research for the calendar project shown at " Gradual" (see selected work) I made a "self-printing" Xmas card this year. The card took nearly four days to be completed, and you can see some gaps in the animation pictures. That is when I was sleeping.
Thanks to everyone that I worked with this year.
