Hornall Anderson “Open House” Drywall Invitation

Hornall Anderson “Open House” Drywall Invitation

Hornall Anderson Design Works, Inc., Seattle, Washington, 1996

Description

This invitation was sent to friends and clients of Hornall Anderson Design Works for an open house in their new office space. It needed to communicate the specific event information as well as the ingenuity and personality of the firm. The drywall and paint were left over from the studio construction. Full-size drywall sheets were splatter painted and then broken into invitation-size chunks. Modeled after an architect’s stamp of approval, a rubber stamp containing the event information was applied and each invitation was hand-signed by someone in the firm.
