Deliberate Luxury, Aviva Stanoff

This letterpress wedding invitation design is one of my all time favorites.  Designed by Aviva Stanoff, it combines her appreciation of sometimes unassuming gifts of nature with her unerring sense of design.  Letterpress printed in chocolate brown with a blind deboss, the set was  wrapped up in chocolate brown envelopes.

The simplicity of this botanical, a sprig of baby’s breath from Aviva’s collection, works beautifully here as a blind deboss.

Aviva’s sense of inspired beauty be seen in her collection of signature pillows, bedding and glass at Aviva Stanoff Design.   Each piece is made by hand, to order in their Brooklyn studio.   Real objects are pressed by hand into fabrics such as velvet, silk organza and charmeuse.  Dyes are mixed by hand, and each blossom, coral and feather are chosen one by one.  No two pieces are alike – each one is a tangible and luxurious piece of art.
