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.

Haroon Mirza Movement

Publication

Haroon Mirza works with sound, video, sculpture and light, to create installations and assemblages that alter perceptions of the intended function. Utilising material and objects such as used furniture, household electronics, machines, video footage and sometimes even works by other artists – revealing the hidden qualities of these outwardly disparate objects. For his book, we worked closely together to develop a way of communicating this method in print. The typeface used throughout is derived from a machine font used for routing, and the book cover was a collaboration between Mirza and ourselves. The image – a photo of a spinning record – was sliced into with the same routing machine mentioned previously as an intervention. Other features include spinning page numbers that echo the movement of the cover.
