Les Ateliers du Magnolia is a French artist residency based in Haute-Saône. It offers designers a creative space for the duration of a residency.

Duo Impair graphic design studio created the visual identity for the residency and is also developing it, for example with this exhibition booklet. It was printed for the first exhibition of Les Ateliers du Magnolia, hosted by ARCADE Design à la campagne.

The sans serif font is a custom font named Magnole. It was designed by Hadrien Tranchant from Duo Impair after a wood typeface found in a catalog issued by Manufacture de caractères en bois et de matériel d’imprimerie A. Martin et Cie, Ardon, Valais, Switzerland, around 1900. It’s paired with WS Kateka by WrittenShape.

Les Yeux Ouverts is a film and sound festival, as well as a meeting place dedicated to creative documentaries. While we love and defend cinema that shows and questions reality, we let forms and perspectives intermingle for a moment suspended outside conventional distribution circuits.

The 6th edition of documentary film festival Les Yeux Ouverts (“Open eyes”) was organized by Association Lundi Soir who asked graphic design studio Duo Impair to design a visual identity. Gaya is the main typeface, supported by a yet unidentified grotesk, set in all caps [edit: it’s St. Louis (Duo Impair), see the comments]. The program was Risograph printed at Quintal Atelier.
