Laura Lamiel: «du miel sur un couteau»

Toan Vu-Huu

This mirror-covered booklet was published, on the occasion of Laura Lamiel’s exhibition in Basel, in the new space opened by Cahn Contemporary. Confronted with the brutalist architecture of Cahn’s new space in Basel, French artist Laura Lamiel proposes installations that capture us entirely by their scale, their colors, and their reflective properties. This booklet was designed by Baldinger•Vu-Huu, using our typeface BVH Bart. (baldinger•vu-huu)

    Toan Vu-Huu is a German-born graphic designer of Vietnamese and English descent. He studied sociology while working as a DJ in Frankfurt, organizing events and collaborating with graphic designers, an experience that led him toward visual arts. He studied graphic design at the University of Applied Arts in Darmstadt and later joined Intégral Ruedi Baur et associés in Paris, contributing to projects such as Cologne-Bonn Airport signage and the Cinémathèque Française identity.

    In 2008, he co-founded baldinger•vu-huu, known for conceptual, multidisciplinary work across identity, signage, publishing, museography, and type design, including the City of Chaumont identity and the Dina Chaumont typeface. The studio received the Grand Prix at the Toyama Poster Triennale (2018), a TDC Certificate of Typographic Excellence (2019), and two first prizes at the Club des DA (2023).

    In 2022, he launched BVH Type Foundry. Since 2023, under studio vu-huu, he created the visual identity for the Cité du design in Saint-Étienne. His works are in collections including CNAP, MAD, Le Signe, TDC New York, Lhati Museum, and Toyama Museum of Modern Art.
