Through the lens of photographer and cultural historian Katsumasa Kusunose, Jazz Kissa takes you deep into the soul of Japan’s listening culture, where cafés became temples of sound and Hi-Fi speakers turned music into an almost spiritual experience. For nearly a century, Jazz Kissa cafés have been sanctuaries where music is not only heard but felt. Over 15 years, Kusunose documented these spaces, preserving their atmosphere for future generations.
Foreword by Devon Turnbull, design by Bernardo Berga, myself and Oliver Stafford. Published by ERG Media

Wayfinding and Labeling for KMSKA, Antwerp, Belgium. The Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) underwent a major renovation, completed in 2022. We designed the complete wayfinding system for the 30,000 m² building and labels for over 600 artworks. The transformation added striking contemporary “white rooms” within the historic galleries. To unite old and new, we chose a refined sans-serif typeface, precision-cut from solid brass, reinforcing the dialogue between tradition and modernity. Together with Bernardo Berga, we created custom icons in the same style to guide visitors intuitively. Wayfinding elements, including matching brass floorplans, were strategically placed for optimal circulation, with freestanding panels where wall signage wasn’t possible. All labels were manually typeset and color-matched to their mounting surfaces for minimal visual disruption, with key works marked by distinctive brass labels.

Jersey Design for KAA Gent. A full range of jerseys for KAA Gent was designed across the 2022–23 and 2023–24 seasons. For the 2023–24 season, a pre-match jersey celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the Planet Group Arena, referencing the stadium’s distinctive—and often glitchy—lighting pattern in a playful nod. A special Christmas edition fan jersey was also released, featuring an abstract interpretation of the stadium’s seating layout for the match against OHL. For the 2024–25 season, the concept centered around "Stamnummer 7," reimagining the classic sash jersey with an added crossbar to form a bold number 7. The sold-out Christmas jersey from the previous year was revived in a striking blue, neon yellow, and grey colorway for the European campaign. A new pre-match shirt, inspired by a waving blue-and-white striped flag, incorporated a neon yellow stripe to cover all kit scenarios—home, away, and third—while ensuring visual cohesion and eliminating mismatched shorts. Produced i.c.w. Bert Huyghe.
