Sans façon

Design proposals


We set up Sans façon as a way to explore our interests though which ever medium seemed relevant to express an issue.
Whilst most of the time it happens through a more traditional understaning of art commissions, we also undertakes design proposals as a mechanism to illustrate our responses to places and situations.
