Formwork

An ongoing construction site.
Formwork is an independent design studio founded by Barbara Virginia Tedeschi (IT) and César Bourgeois (FR), working across visual communication, art direction, and spatial thinking.

We guide projects through their formation. We are drawn to ideas in the making — unstable, unfinished, and full of potential. We work to develop solid foundations, building structures designed to hold and evolve over time. Alongside client work, Formwork operates as a Lab. A space for independent exploration, where ideas can exist outside of immediate application. These experiments generate friction, producing noise that feeds back into commissioned projects.

Brand identity for Sayyou, a brand of EVA plastic shoes. The identity is built around a custom geometric logotype, drawn from simple, modular forms that echo the lightness and moulded character of the product. From there, the visual system extends across corporate assets, from letterhead to business cards, and onto packaging and tags, keeping a consistent rhythm from the office to the shelf. A signature colour anchors the identity, with a pop accent that brings a playful, immediate note to an otherwise essential language.
