Each new project gives the designers
an opportunity to explore new avenues
in graphic design. In addition to their
commercial work, the duo investigates a
personal grammar of ideas and forms – a
kind of “gym to keep them in shape,”
which they admit has been very useful.
ÉricandMarie have developed important
projects for artistic and cultural institutions
in Europe and have held educative
workshops at Fabrica, Italy and at the
Ecole Supérieure d’Art et de Design (ESAD)
in Reims, France
PARIS, CLASSED ALONGSIDE TOKYO,
New York, and London as an “alfa/
global” city, is the home to ÉricandMarie,
composed by the designers Éric Gaspar
and Marie Bertholle, who have worked
together since 2002. After graduating
with degrees in graphic design in France
they set off for London where they both
completed their studies, fi rst at Saint
Martins College of Art and Design and
then at the Royal College of Art.
Convinced that it is the idea that dictates
form, Gaspar and Bertholle prefer to
distance themselves from seductive
images and put greater onus on the
choice of materials and the processes of
printing and production in each one of
their projects. Experimentation is inherent
in the whole process from the conception
of an idea to the end product.
