"For Offf, the community has always been the core. This collaboration with Uncommon makes that idea tangible. The campaign doesn't just speak to designers - it is literally built from them. It's a celebration of shared authorship and the power of gathering, exchanging, and making together."
"We always go hunting for what we shouldn't do, and the idea of a magic trick where people didn't know it but unwittingly played a part in making the very identity that celebrated them was irresistible. Once we realised that the mould could actually be very beautiful, we knew this was the idea we had to make."
Offf Barcelona's identity system integrates organic, nature-derived aesthetics featuring leaf-spots, mildews, rusts, and blights alongside two custom typefaces: Modernisme, a biologically-thriving typeface with experimental biomorphic letterforms, and Hyphae, inspired by asymmetrical fungal networks. Both typefaces were designed by Ryan Bugden. The campaign emphasizes community as its foundation, with the design literally constructed from designer contributions. The concept employs an unconventional approach where participants unknowingly contributed to the identity celebrating them, treating mould as an unexpectedly beautiful design element. This reflects the philosophy that culture emerges from collective creation and shared participation.
