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.

Product Interventions

We were asked to participate in with Wallpaper's Hand Made 2011 issue, where designers from various practices collaborate with manufacturers to create bespoke one-offs – our selected partner was Emform, a German stationery manufacturer. We wanted to play on their products simplicity and showcase what the function of each item was. We began by powder-coating each piece of stationary white as a blank canvas, with our interventions taking the form of the shapes of the stationary's end-product. Cut tape on the side of the tape dispenser, circular pieces removed from the hole-puncher, and pencil squiggles on the inside of the pencil pot.
