About

A Practice for Everyday Life is a design agency working with some of the world’s most successful companies, galleries, institutions and individuals. We create a diverse range of work including brand identities, art direction, signage & wayfinding, exhibition design, print, editorial & publishing and websites from concept to production.

We investigate, explore and experiment to draw together stories which can translate and transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. This approach has always led to thoughtful and inspired design solutions, and earned us a reputation for crafting intelligent, beautiful and innovative work.

We have established an exceptional reputation through work for Architects’ Journal, British Council, Phillips de Pury, Tate Modern & Britain, Victoria & Albert Museum and Wellcome Trust and are an increasingly sought after partner for collaborations with architects, curators, creative directors and photographers.

Daunt Books

Daunt Books Brand Identity

Brand Identity

Daunt Books is a successful and special independent bookshop with branches across London. In 2010, they launched their publishing arm. We were asked to develop the identity for Daunt Books publishing as well as design the first two titles; Saki, Improper Stories, and Sybille Bedford,
A Favourite of the Gods.

Saki Improper Stories

Publication

Saki’s Improper Stories are a collection of tales – whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirise Edwardian society and culture. Wild beasts stampede through the drawing room, servants suffer from murderous delusions, and sinister children plot revenge on their elders – all sources of inspiration for the various Illustrations on the jacket, and the embossed detail on the cover beneath.

Sybille Bedford A Favourite of the Gods

Publication

A Favourite of the Gods is a brilliant book by British writer Sybille Bedford. It follows the lives of three generations of privileged women in a corrupt and decadent 1920s Europe. The art deco inspired icon used throughout the book represents one of the character's lost rings from the beginning of the novel.
