Summary
Fifteen celebrates the last 15 years of creative work at Fourtwentyseven. It is a publication designed to be a celebration of what has been achieved since we opened the doors but also an opportunity to be expressive and inquisitive through our process. The book has been shared with some of our clients and suppliers that we have worked with over the years.
Delving deep into our archive system we have dug out 15 of our most interesting projects, blew the cobwebs off them and got to work re-inventing each from scratch. Using these projects as our basis we have taken the elements from each one, de-constructed the constituent parts and then re-assembled them in a new form, while maintaining their core essence.
As well as being a retrospective we wanted this piece of work to create a new perception of how we approach design and we have specifically created a more artistic representation of each project. Fifteen is designed to document how we are able to push boundaries and engage in conversations through creativity and design. This publication highlights aspects of our studio’s award-winning work that are well known and some of projects that might otherwise go unrecorded or unexplored, but it also allows us to document our creative process and gives space to record past and recent trains of thought.
The only criteria for inclusion in the book is our belief in the final outcome. We have produced design for multi-nationals and one-man bands, but scale or budget are not the criteria for inclusion, for us it is, and always should be, about creativity. We have created new ideas that are not afraid to improvise or delve into the abstract. This record of our work and marques is not the whole story but a wee snapshot of what we have produced across the last 15 years in business.
