-Le Chinois (concert venue) monthly ephemera

Every month, printing of a paper program in a 10 × 21 cm format for the concert venue Le Chinois, located in the inner suburbs of Paris (Montreuil). The typeface used is “Intro.”

These posters contribute to graphic design history by positioning themselves in direct dialogue with modernism while injecting contemporary energy.

The bold sans-serif typography, primary color contrasts (red, blue, black, white), and strong compositional structures echo Bauhaus, Constructivism, and Swiss International Style. But the letters are destabilized — tilted, fragmented, falling — which shifts the work toward postmodern expressiveness rather than strict functionalism.

There’s also a clear Memphis / 80s graphic influence (dots, confetti, bold patterns), yet it feels digitally native rather than nostalgic. The typography behaves like physical matter — objects moving in space — reflecting a design culture shaped by motion graphics and spatial thinking.

Most importantly, this is cultural poster design: experimental, public-facing, serial. It keeps alive the European tradition of the poster as a laboratory for graphic research, while embracing contemporary flexible identity systems.

In short: it doesn’t reinvent history — it extends it intelligently.
