DESIGN. Lifestyle and Culture
Design
The CIPHER design aesthetic is a culture symbolizing modern urban elegance.
Conceived in the iconic new wave cinematic style of Jean Luc Godard, Alain Resnais, Chris Marker, Wong Kar Wai, and the architecture of Zaha Hadid and Santiago Callatava-- anchored by the design principles of Dieter Rams.
Simple, resonant asymmetric graphic lines, tonal palettes: black to white, with the streaks of metallic or 80's Neo Tokyo electro-pop colours; summoning the chiaroscuro style of film Noir with the neo-futuristic design of Blade Runner.
We strive to create modern design infused with culture inspired by the most resonant and iconic works across mediums and eras.
DESIGN. Informed by culture and inspired by music for life in the Brave New World
