When perusing the site of the now defunct Portuguese-based Studio Degrau, the phrase “a voice from elsewhere” kept popping up in our head. This is not related to the Blanchot book but toward a general feeling of a certain design, work with an absolute, impersonal resolve — quintessential exponents being like Massimo Vignelli or Margaret Calvert. Work where colors are “color” and fonts are delivered to designers from a hand of some much more stable beyond. Very clear and very beautiful. Adeus Degrau!
