Although the vast bulk of their work is in advertising this represents something completed in-house for the sheer joy of it. Director of Charlex, Alex Weil asked a few of the company's designers to come up with a project of their own - to enable their creativity to have an outlet unburdened by the demands of their usual projects.This allowed the team to experiment and explore, starting with an empty canvas.

Lingering over glasses of wine and copious lunch plates for two hours is a habit rapidly slipping from convention as is the notion that the French are unproductive. It occurred to me recently that my career actually began in France. I worked retail in the States throughout college but nothing full-time and nothing I intended to make a lifelong vocation. That said, my reference is slanted and I base much of my understanding of American work-culture on what I remember and what my close friends and family describe.
