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.
