If you have any interest in tactile and unique design, the ladies of Maricor/Maricar are the ones to watch. Since winning the Realize Your Dream 2010 competition last year, the twin studio have won international acclaim and the respect of designers and bloggers alike. Utilizing their love of typography, patterns and tactile embroidery, the sisters Maricor and Maricar stun viewers with their beautiful and breathtaking attention for detail.
Personally, what caught my eye and thus led to the obsession of these twins' work is their organic,colorful and technical approach to typography rarely seen in current design work. The sisters tag team each other when creating their ridiculously detailed pieces; drafting on paper in pencil, experimenting with color schemes in watercolor, and then (what I imagine to be) painfully embroidering onto fabric. The result is almost painterly, with a seamless transition and blend of colors teamed with the natural flow of script type.
Words are illuminated, figures of speech amplified, and plays on words brought to life. Maricor/Maricar are a refreshing design studio that this type enthusiast is happy and proud to claim as a fellow Sydney-sider.
