Anne & Valentin Pictogram

A pictogram is a stripped-down drawing that works as a sign, and the Pictogram frames are made the same way: the line is drawn direct and taut, with as little material as possible. From the front only a fine outline shows; from the side, the depth. The house links the play of volume and depth to architect Tadao Ando and designer Gerrit Rietveld. The temples were drawn for this concept alone, like the lining of a well-cut garment, and how much of them shows depends on the colour.
