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.

Daria Martin Sensorium Tests

Sensorium Tests documents Martin’s investigations of mirror-touch synaesthesia, a newly-discovered neurological condition. We worked in close collaboration with the artist to devise a system of graphic interventions which appear throughout the book, including a one-way mirror sheet to mimic the one which appears in Martin’s film, and numerical pattern illustrations that make reference to pivotal neuroscientific experiments relating to the subject matter. The feeling of the book is simple and tactile – somewhere between a scientific research paper and an artist’s book.

Everywhere and All at Once: An Anthology of Writings on Performa 07

As a compendium of all the performances from Perfoma 07, this publication reflects the ever-changing nature of Performa, and offers a view into the key themes of that year's biennial. As well as documenting each of the works in depth, it includes interviews with the artists and essays on the multitude of events that take place around New York City throughout the duration of the biennial. Continuing the colour scheme and identity we had used on other Performa 07 material, a bright red was used as an accent colour throughout. Maps of the performance locations were provided on the flaps of the cover, and a facsimile of the programme was reproduced to give context to the writing.
