FHK Henrion

Tony Brook

The designer FHK Henrion has no equal in British graphic design history. No UK designer – then or now – can match his sheer depth of accomplishments and range of abilities. Born in Germany, he trained as a textile designer before becoming a skilled and celebrated poster artist. As a British citizen after WWII, he designed publications, exhibitions, household products, interiors and jewellery, and in the 1960s he became the founding father of modern corporate identity in Europe.

    From Collate: ‘It's hard to believe that Spin have been around for over 20 years now but just flicking through the book you can see why they have remained at the forefront of British and International graphic design. Each page, a true testament to their skill and dedication to the field of design with a level of consistency and an immaculate standard of design output that few studios rarely achieve.’
