Project:Oxbow Textile Design

Textile Designs For Tshirt Prints

Bruce Brown's movie "the endless summer" was released in 1966. In order to honour this piece of art, Oxbow France asked us - 42 years later - to design motifs for a textile collection inspired by this legendary documentary. These motifs are now pieces of the Oxbow Artwork Collection and available in store from summer 2010 on.

Project:30 Years Grofa

30 Years Anniversary Book

There is no way around Grofa in the German bike scene. Grofa is Germany´s biggest wholesale dealer and importer of bike parts. It´s Grofa´s 30th birthday this year and on this occasion, Melville Brand Design created two supplements with anniversary products in the RoadBike and TOUR as well as MountainBike and BIKE magazines plus an analogous website (www.30jahregrofa.com).

Project:Maloja Catalogue Spring/Summer 2011

Catalogue Production For A Bike And Sportswear Brand

Our relationship with Maloja is way older than Melville itself. It was in 2007, at the Maloja booth - a piece of homely turf with emotional heartiness - that three of the future founders of Melville Brand Design swore to take their destiny in their own hands and sail together. Well, it was just an idea at that time, but it turned serious in 2008. The fact that the dream-client-to-be Maloja played hard to get at the beginning only made our wooing become more intense.

The job was commissioned and released in collaboration with Häberlein & Mauerer, Agency for Puplic Relations.

Project:Levi's Men's Denim leporello

Fits for real dudes

Real dudes are faithful, consistent and sometimes tend to prefer the Classic. As long as we are talking about Denims. Still the problem remains: Which one? For that Levi's offers four solutions, in numbers: 501, 511, 519 and 533. To point fashion-editors to those very numbers - and to express our love to the undestructable demins - Melville Art Director Johannes König sat down with a nail-scissors, cloth, thread and needle to celebrate these numbers. Please see the result below.
