Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz met in art school in Paris. They quickly decided to work together under the name Antoine+Manuel. Since their begining they combine hand drawing and computer illustration with their own typography and photography. They each explore their favourite fields and creative methods, resulting in output which, though diverse, has an obvious unity. Moving from dance to fashion via contemporary art and design, the duo has defined a singular graphic style.

They work for fashion (Christian Lacroix), home (Habitat, Galeries Lafayette, Domestic), publishing houses (Larousse), contemporary dance, theatre and art.

“For each project we begin the design process by inventing an entire system of forms, with its own vocabulary and rules. In this phase of conceptualizing, we focus on shape and on the story we want to tell. We always keep in mind that the objects we create are aimed at an audience, and we want to provoke emotions. Since we are our first audience, this emotion has to work on us.”

Their next projects will lead to them to an ever greater involvement in design for the home.
