Paper Collective brings together graphic designers, agencies, artists and illustrators to create inspirational and iconic graphic prints while promoting great causes and charities. For every design poster they sell, they donate at least 15% to one of their favourite causes or charities.
Since it is close to their practice TAF choose that their donation will benefit the organisation ASF International (Architecture Sans Frontieres). For the motif of the two posters they designed a villa of 125 sqm.
TAF explained, "The concept is based on a raised ground level put on stones. Like a traditional old grain store from Sweden.". TAF's design for the villa simplifies and exaggerates the forms used to construct a typical house, with a large roof projecting over the boxy ground floor. All the different main components that together creates an ordinary house are visually separated. The oversized roof works as a symbol for shelter.
The prints are produced in limited editions of 300 posters. Paper Collective producing posters locally in Denmark using only high-quality, FSC-marked material and under certification of the Swan mark (The Swan eco-label is the official sustainability label for the Nordic countries).
