This month, legendary French chef Pierre Koffmann returns to London with his new restaurant, Koffmanʼs, at The Berkeley hotel in Knightsbridge.

London design studio Construct has created the identity and branding.

The identity and branding take their inspiration from two sources: French bistro vernacular and a ʻsignaturesʼ theme. The bistro influence can be seen in the use of a curved logotype, a condensed typeface and the dominance of red. The ʻsignatureʼ elements are literal and symbolic: Koffmannʼs own handwritten signature sits across the full range of design applications, from exterior awnings to menus, whilst a little pig, separated from his feet at the top of the menu, references Koffmannʼs best known signature dish, pigʼs trotters.

Jamie Edwards and Javan Ivey teamed up for this personal profile piece of W+K’s “12″ program. The task was to create an astonishing profile piece of 13 people with a short production window. Jamie called on Javan to help her create something in Stratastencil.

Famous for the 1991 international bestseller Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, Canadian Douglas Coupland resumed his work in visual arts in 2000, following a 10 year hiatus that coincided with his international literary fame. A recent edition to his body of work is this beautiful ‘digitised’ sculpture of a killer whale that is now a resident of Vancouver’s Convention Centre. Imposing, unique and decidedly post-modern, the metal structure with it’s night time illumination is a dazzling new icon for Vancouver’s charming harbour….

«Colier» is limited collection of sparkling wine: 23 bottles of luxury sets (bottle + presentation box) and 5 premium (handmade bottle + cocoon container). The target audience was business women and we all know that champagne is female drink. After brainstorming we choose collar as name, because it describes the idea of collection very good and also can be played in designs. For Brut we used classic square box form and for Vintage Brut we created the cocoon. All the weight of cocoon is focused in his bottom part that’s why it don’t turn upside down and it also keeps cold inside before opening.

I’d have learned the alphabet so much faster this way. The Console Font is now in excellent t-shirt form for $9. [Tee Fury]

I’ve seen fonts that are playful, but the console alphabet may be the first ever that’s playable. Composed entirely of carefully arranged gaming hardware and awesomeness, it’s going to be my default just as soon as it’s downloadable.

It’s $50. But in an age when Apple was just selling fanboys Livestrong bracelets for $30, I don’t think we can complain about that point too much.

Have you tried Air Display yet? It’s wonderful. The only real flaw with the app is something you realize about 1 minute into its use: You’re gonna need a stand to use your iPad as a second monitor.

Innopocket’s HexaPose stand completely obliterates that issue with utter design overkill.

Their solid aluminum and polycarbonate stand mimics the iMac right down to the hole for cords, all while supporting portrait and landscape configurations with three angles of tilt apiece. The company hasn’t listed a weight, but the HexaPose looks solid and poised—plenty to anchor your iPad on your desk with prominence and security.

I don’t know much about Innopocket’s products, but assuming the build quality is up to snuff, this could be one excessive accessory purchase worthy of excessive accessory purchases. Innopocket and Pyramid Distribution.

How appropriate. The pen is as permanent as its ink.

The stainless steel sharpie is $8, and has replaceable ink cartridges. It was released sometime last year, but I just discovered it today. Sharpie
