It’s been barely four years since Büro Destruct, trailblazers
of modern Swiss design, published their first ever collection of works
at dgv. Best-known and -loved for their ostensibly digital design
solutions with a generous touch of craftsmanship, relaxed cleverness
and humour, this Bern-based design collective has since realised a
multitude of fascinating projects for clients of all shapes and sizes
– and assembled the resulting highlights in this book. Büro
Destruct II follows its predecessor in layout, structure and the healthy
mix of commissioned and free designs. In content, too, the volume
shows a consistent continuation, development and refinement of the
distinctive Büro Destruct style, providing an in-depth peek at
the collective’s experiments, work methods and background through
a number of case studies. In addition, internal projects like Typedifferent,
the Los Logos website, Büro Discotec, Büro Discount and
Rainbow are exhaustively documented. With their “instinctive
graphics” Büro Destruct prove that it’s possible to
become both more complex and focussed, older and fresher, wiser and
punkier at the same time. Still inspired by literally everything that
surrounds them, they have retained their cheeky freedom to (every
once and again) dabble in a little cultivated nonsense.
