The primary direction of the work taking inspiration from the building’s original Art Deco details.

AirW1 is a huge new development just off Regent Street between Golden Square and Piccadilly Circus. It’s one of the largest developments to come to the West End. The identity is a modern take on Art Deco, drawing from the architectural heritage of the building and its modern redevelopment. The clients are the Crown Estate and Stanhope.

dn&co devised the name and identity of the building, including a bespoke typeface called Art Deco. Production includes a book spec’d with a tailor-made debossed quilted cover and cold glue binding, and the installation of an Exploratorium; a unique marketing suite encouraging visitors to explore the building and local area through interactive elements and augmented reality.

Thank you to Joy and Simon at dn&co for the high res images and help putting this together for us.
