Computer Arts - UK (2019-11)

Aspiring to be “the design version of a three-

Michelin-starred restaurant” according

to founder Tony Brook, Spin’s goal is to

surprise, delight, break boundaries, cut

through and make a difference. It’s clearly

paying dividends, with a dramatic rise of 17

places in this year’s UK Studio Rankings.

Are you happy to make this year’s Top 10?

We are totally thrilled, and would like to

offer a huge debt of thanks to everyone that

nominated us. It gives us a huge boost.

What are your highlights from 2019?

The year was a complete blur, but working

for MUBI, Material Futures MA (UAL),

the fabulous Neri Oxman and Wallpaper*,

Apple and a new Dan Pearson website all

stand out. Also we designed and published

(through Unit Editions) a book on Universal

Everything. And not forgetting (how could

we) the honour of making a Computer Arts

cover. I must mention the studio visit to

Buenos Aires, through kind invitation of The

British Council, UNSAM and Proa. We had an

exhibition, workshops and lectures, it was an

unforgettable experience.

And what’s next?

We’ve been working on the identity for AIR

studios, which is super exciting. A spanking

new website for Matthew Hilton should be

finished soon, and we’ve been working on a

book with Ian Anderson about The Designers

Republic. There are a lot of other things we

can’t talk about at this point – watch this space

• and we also have some self-initiated projects
  in the pipeline. The next 12 months is going to
  be massive for us. Onwards and upwards.
