Michelle Cotton

Design Research Unit 1942–72

Publication

Founded in 1942, the Design Research Unit was the first consultancy in the country to bring together expertise in architecture, graphics and industrial design. It was a graphic designer’s dream to design this retrospective of their work to accompany the touring exhibition curated by Michelle Cotton. The page layouts hint at the ‘identification manuals’ that were created by DRU for companies like Watneys, and British Rail, and the book is set mostly in Monotype Grotesque, which was used in a lot of earlier studio work. The publication also records the exhibition’s various locations through a series of installation photographs.
