The San Francisco-based designers, who work under the name MARKATOS | MOORE, stripped the elements of their traditional earthy colors and instead dressed them up in black-and-white tones—referencing the appearance of concrete. The designers also updated Concreteworks’ logo, which features an image based on Le Corbusier’s sculpture Open Hand, polishing the image while being careful to retain its meaning. Moore says Mark Rogero, Concreteworks’ founder, “is inspired by what the sculpture symbolizes. We took the illustration, simplified it and gave it more of a refined look.” The combination of bold, natural elements and subtle typography gives Concreteworks distinctive stationery and business cards with a Zen-like quality of contemplation. by Zoe Weisman
