The team at Blanked Studios has created the Lumon collection, which is comprised of an aluminum-crafted range of stationery. The theme centers around a brutalist form with a monochrome palette and sharp angles. The range nods to the iconic television series Severance, where the show depicts Lumon Industries.
The company is a large corporation where some employees will choose to go through a controversial procedure. There, their consciousness splits between work and personal. The stark design reflects the architecture and minimal design of the show. The aluminum stationery collection is highlighted by a desktop folder which quite literally reflects the look of a paper folder. It works as a modern organization product with a metallic finish and clean lines.
