A blog about vintage modern design & illustration curated by Javier Garcia
Here’s another wonderful book designed completely by Alvin Lustig. Amazing Layouts and typography is showcased in this book not to mention all the great architects featured in it. The photo’s tonal range is exceptional due to the heliogravure process.
Book was made in 1952 by The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

I just found this great packaging for Remo’s Drum Heads. Inside was a receipt dated 1986. The designer is unknown (anyone?), but the simplicity, shapes and colors are very fun to look at. I’ve seen some recent redos of this packaging and they do not come any close to this. Why did they change their package?

Here are some logos that I scanned from an old Bra Bohag catalog. These were the brands they distributed. The catalog is dated 1958-1959. Unfortunately there’s not much information I can give since it’s all in Swedish (Svenska) I believe. All I can say is that they are lovely logos that depict a great period, a great style and fine quality furniture.
My favorite is the Tingströms logo. If anyone has info on the designers, feel free to share.
