paper letters by jerome corgier {in black & white}










Love these black and white paper art letters by French designer Jerome Corgier. It always feels like each letter of the alphabet has its own personality so it is nice to see that captured in the very different designs and typefaces used. My only wish is to see these beautiful works of art photographed on white. It feels like the coloured gradient backgrounds are distracting from the contrast and strength of pure black and white. That being said, I love the intricacy and depth of Jerome’s letters and you can view the whole alphabet here.

I love these, maybe displayed on a neutral wall they would really stand out. I see your point about them being photographed on white.

I think because this is how I dress usually (black & white + minimal colour) I really love the contrast here. It would be super cool on a white background as well… BUT the punchy contrast totally works for me. Pretty!
