Hofstede design were established in 1996, and their office is located in leafy Prahran in Melbourne. They specialise in environmental, publication and identity design.

Their Talking & Teaching Type poster (below) for Tobias Frere-Jones’ Melbourne visit caught my eye this morning as I browsed through TypeNeu.

I particularly enjoy the way a collection of artifacts that use Hoefler & Frere-Jones Typefaces are laid out and photographed for the reverse of the poster:

They also developed a nice environmental design strategy and rebranding of an outer suburban Melbourne shopping centre.. though I am not too sure about the strong presence of black on the exterior and then the use of navy + yellow.

They have also produced some impressively designed publications and books.

For Design Students
Hofstede offer an internship program with a minimum 4 week placement and a ‘modest stipend’ is provided. See details here.
