EXTRAORDINARY CRAFTS

A international team driven by passion, working meticulously with a will to always find the best techniques and a strong desire to challenge the pre-established in order to tell and share unique stories.

 

MARK FARROW

Graphic design : Mark Farrow’s highly regarded career in graphic design began with his work in the early 1980s for Factory Records and legendary Manchester club The Haçienda. These early relationships placed Farrow at the forefront of music design: a story that has long since continued with artists such as Pet Shop Boys and Spiritualized. Farrow’s creative partnership with Pet Shop Boys has spanned over twenty years and the relationship has produced some of the most iconic record sleeves of our time. A minimalist approach and precise attention to detail defines the Farrow aesthetic and has resulted in the studio undertaking projects in a wide range of sectors. In 2009 Mark Farrow received the honour of Royal Designer for Industry in recognition of his contribution to design. Farrow Design's work has been published and exhibited internationally.
