No, this is not the “shaken not stirred” Bond you’re thinking of. Designer Joe Doucet recently assembled a new multi-disciplinary design studio dubbed Bond, which will launch during this year’s ICFF in NYC. The talented firm features a range of international designers who started to showcase their work at the Pomegranate Gallery on May 17th. Exhibits will will showcase new ideas in furniture, transportation, and conceptual product design. This includes a subscriptions service which delivers refills of products directly to consumers, and a brilliant magazine printed with ink that will fade over time, thereby transforming the magazine into a blank notepad.
According to Bond, they will “tranform and elevate brands by offering an emotionally cohesive soul to their clients through visual identity, environmental/retail design, packaging collateral and product design. The business spiel does not sound as exciting as the images of the prototypes they’ve created thus far, which are truly great. The corporate speak on their website goes on to say that “everything must be considered a part of the entire message. This is where we come in. We are the bond that holds the hearts of customers to our clients. With puns like that, they’re bound to succeed.
