Birthplace: Blerick, The Netherlands (KVDB)/Lørenskog, Norway (AC)
Residence: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Connecting cities: London, UK/Berlin, Germany/Paris, France
Together with Herman van Bostecen and
the Dutch studio De Designpolitie, van
den Brandt and Clay are also part of the
Gorilla collective, a group which publishes
a graphic column on the front page of
one of the main Dutch newspapers De
Volkskrant. It involves a critical and
scathing visual interpretation of everyday
life. These series were honored in 2007 by
the Dutch Design Awards, the European
Design Awards and Red Dot Design
Award, among others.
LESLEY MOORE, THE GRAPHIC DESIGN
agency founded in 2004 by Karin van
den Brandt and Alex Clay, is located
in Amsterdam, otherwise known as the
“Venice of the north” because of its canals
and unique architecture. Their portfolio
includes a wide range of projects from
the development of visual identities to art
direction and design for printed media
and exhibitions.
In 2009, the studio received the European
Design Awards prize for their work
on redesigning Mark magazine, a bi-
monthly publication on architecture,
from the same publishing house as Frame
magazine.
The name of the studio, Lesley Moore, is
a play on words which the designers have
created from the Goethe’s famous quote
“Less is more” – the motto taken by Mies
van der Rohe also.
