Just when you've written about one invitation on Offenbach Bible (see below), another one turns up as well!
This is an A1 folded to A4 invitation for Architects, Caruso St John, celebrating twenty years in practice.
Reproduced on the front of the invitation is a painting from the National Gallery titled "Landscape with Cephalus and Procris Reunited by Diana" by Claude Lorrain, 1645, painted when he was 45 years old. John Constable described Claude as "the most perfect landscape painter the world ever saw", and declared that in Claude’s landscape "all is lovely – all amiable – all is amenity and repose; the calm sunshine of the heart". What architect wouldn't want to be associated with such an accolade?
The invitation folds out showing thumbnails of a variety of their work over the last twenty years and printed on the reverse of the numbnail is the name of each project. Being printed on Offenbach Bible 60gsm, which has the lightweight feel and a little show through, it is possible to match up the pics with the titles.
The invitation was designed by John Morgan Studio. It was printed and finished by Gavin Martin Associates.
...and thanks to Michael for the note and for sending me a copy.
