We are having great time in Bali, it is simply amazing... but I want to show you the amazing hotel we went to while we werre in Bangkok. I was seduce by the web site and the look of this small, charming, vintage, kids friendly, “green” hotels that offer unique decor. It is a small hotel situated within the old Bangkok district, totally unique... with an amazing café on the roof with view on the city and organic garden in bathtubs !

Vincent Rustuel is an other client that became friend, or friend which became client, I do not remember... he first contacted me some years ago as he liked graphic exchange and send me his photo book... We then develop his graphic language, bsed on my knowledge of his work and photographe personality... A mix of wild spirit and very strict way of work... He likes the idea to have several logos, based on a same one but being able to play with it...

Vincent ask me to design a specific version of his logo for his weddings clients... I also help him to design cover for the brides books.

The web site is a simple presentation page, that brings you to his two cargo portfolios, one for his clients and arts photos, one specific to the wedding activity...

We arrived in Bali yeasterday, and I guess I was tired, I fall asleep at 9PM to wake up at 9, 12 hours later... did not happen for a long time... It is maybe this amazing place that ask me to rest: The Rumah Capung guest house will be my home/office for the coming month... Cast Iron Design projects promise a lot from this young company...

Last week went too quick... we do a thousand things, I can't even believe it is possible to do so much things in a week... I will gave you details on the amazing hotel of Bangkok, antique market we went to, or meeting and connection done, in some other posts... We are now on the Koh Lanta island, well known of french readers for the TV show of the same name (the french version of the Survivor broadcast... but it is different from what you see on TV when you are guest in a nice hotel and have a wifi access... White sands beach and coconuts trees, this is where I will work this week ! Back on april 23th, last monday... Nico & Landry, my best Thai-French friends (you become friends eve, quicker than on facebook when you share amazing things), bring me to "Press a card" letterpress studio. As in a lot of country, letterpress in Bangkok is used to very uncreative things... But Zoom want to change that, and he used the workshop of his ant to learn how to print his own projects... He instal his nice design studio in one of the room and was happy to show us the amazing printing studio and its fascinating Thaï letters drawers...

Zoom also show use its projects. Strangly, he told us he has now way to do polymer shapes in Thaïlande, the reason why the still use metalic ones... They look nicer, but I guess it is more complicate... Anyway, here come some of his projects, some done by other Bangkok designers (like Tap at www.farmgroup.co.th that I finaly can't met as we planned).

Don't I look like Mr Clean on this picture of 4 of us (I may should have think about it before I jump onto the MrCup idea !). I do not have a earring, this is a visula effect due to the drawers behind me ;) Thanks guys for this nice moment (again).

We leave Bangkok to arrive at Phra Nan Inn hotel for which I design the logo last year. I have done several things from the past days, with thousand of pictures I want to share, but some clients are waitting after me ! And I am pleased to present you the Nicolas Dali work. The Bangkok trip would not have been the same without him, he avoid us all the tourisits traps, and bring us to amazing places, with Landry Dunand (as I tell in this post). The French Thai Cultural festival was done with Landry, and it is even him on the eiffel tower ;)

Nico and Landry get a nice article in the Tawain edition of Computer Arts magazine, with a nice behind the scene pictures...

Nico also design this very nice book while he lived in New Zeland... He is not only a very nice guy, but he visit so much places... Some years in Thailand, some in Malaysia, visting Tokyo, Madgascar... So much things to share... More in a coming post ;)

Thanks guys ! Nicolas Dali site is www.nemostudio.fr, Landry photography blog is afghancamera.blogspot.com

Our week in Chiang Mai is ending... It is in the north of Thaïlande, and there is a lot of craftmans and creativs here, the reason why we want to come. We stay at a very nice place outside the city, Mai Sim resort, Eric live here with his wife Pranee, that help us to speak and exchange with local people. Nice to have a office with mango trees around !

The idea beind this trip is to met creatives, peoples with amazing talents, and to work with them on products... It's what I started with Letteramagica for the coasters and the calendars, and I want to go further...

I have met a lot of people, but the one from what I expect the most is this paper maker... this material is superb, now I have to create my own books with them... Here come some pictures to let you imagine...

The streets...

Tomorrow we came back to Bangkok for some days, and with Nico & Landry that I met last week, we plan to visit local letterpress printers ! So much to come !
