18.01LONDON & BEYOND NOISE ⁠ Welcoming September with a look back at our recent video and photo shoot with @beyondnoise. Our founders, Dean & Cristina, spoke to Managing Editor @nicoledemarco about how our archive grew to over 30,000 pieces - and how we craft bespoke research experiences for every design team.⁠ ⁠ Captured on set by @niko_studio, our creative response to the Beyond Noise brief reflects exactly how we work: curating hundreds of pieces tailored to each brand’s identity and season.⁠ ⁠ Photographer @niko_studio⁠ Fashion Editor @csaknyackns_⁠ Model @xie.chaoyu at @premiermodels⁠ Hair @keitakanohair using @bumbleandbumble⁠ Make-up @sunao__takahashi⁠ Casting @tmscsy⁠ Stylist Assistant @tarynrider

Our reference library is growing by the day, and since every project begins with a moodboard, it only made sense to build a library to match. ⁠ ⁠ We’re now the proud custodians of a complete set of The Manipulator @themanipulatormagazine - a magazine published between 1984 and 1994 by artists Wilhelm Moser and David Colby. Extra-large in format, poster-like in scale, it's best appreciated in person, and is a reference we are so inspired by at 18.01LONDON. ⁠ ⁠ Looking back at our shoot with Beyond Noise: @niko_studio captured @xie.chaoyu in our studio holding Issue Six from 1986. Swipe to see some of our favourite spreads from the magazine, photographed in our space, alongside a striking image of the Studio Babelsberg exclusive issue by @andreaslange (created for an exhibition in Berlin in February 2008), plus a rare portrait of the magazine’s founders.⁠ ⁠ To view The Manipulator in person, please email us at info @1801london.com - scans upon request.⁠

BEYOND NOISE⁠ As part of The Oracle series by @beyondnoise, founders Dean & Cristina of 18.01LONDON were invited to speak with Managing Editor @nicoledemarco, sharing the story of how the archive came to life - and how it has grown into a collection of over 30,000 inspirational pieces. They also offered insight into how we approach client work, bringing each vision to life through thoughtful research and curation.⁠ ⁠ On set, @niko_studio captured our creative response to the Beyond Noise brief - just as we do for every client who steps into the archive.⁠ ⁠ For each appointment, we call in hundreds of pieces, each one carefully selected to align with the brand’s DNA and seasonal direction - ensuring a completely bespoke research experience every time.⁠ ⁠ Watch the full video via the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ Photographer @niko_studio⁠ Fashion Editor @csaknyackns_⁠ Model @xie.chaoyu at @premiermodels⁠ Hair @keitakanohair using @bumbleandbumble⁠ Make-up @sunao__takahashi⁠ Casting @tmscsy⁠ Stylist Assistant @tarynrider⁠
