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.

Nigel Cooke

Publication

Nigel Cooke’s paintings are at once bright, dark and contemporary, with a subject matter that is often surprising. We designed a large format book with little text that would primarily highlight his work, with the publication design taking a back seat to the large images of his works.

Eva Rothschild

Publication

Sculptor Eva Rothschild’s art works use a wide variety of materials and vary enormously in size – from a small wall-mounted ceramic plate to a steel structure that once filled the entire Duveens Gallery at Tate Britain. This book is a series of installation shots recording and celebrating her career to date. Rothschild worked closely on the book, often visiting the studio and advising on layout and helping to reproduce her images as accurately as possible. The cover design was a close collaboration, with the angular silkscreened triangle echoing the shapes of some of her works – a subtle reference to what is within.
