Mathias Augustyniak studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, and later graduated with an MA from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1991. He founded M/M (Paris) with Michaël Amzalag in 1992. M/M have developed collaborations across cultural fields, including music, fashion, art, publishing, film and theatre. They understand their work to be in the production of a series of signs that they are constantly reordering to build their own language. As acclaimed typographers, graphic designers and art directors, M/M often repurpose their own archives, utilising photography, drawing and typography as part of an elaborate visual language that is distinctive and experimental. They have designed magazines (Interview Magazine, Vogue Paris, Purple), while working diversely with fashion houses (Yohji Yamamoto, Alexander McQueen, Loewe), contemporary artists (Pierre Huyghe, Sarah Morris, Philippe Parreno), musicians (Björk, Madonna, Kanye West) and cultural institutions. Recently, they have created scenography, set design and 3D translations of their graphic vocabulary.
