Art Buromobel is a Canadian furniture brand whose mark was designed by Ernst Roch in 1960, according to the logo archive Logos & Brands.[1] The symbol is described as angular, rectangular and block-shaped.[1]
Design and History
Ernst Roch (1928-2003) was a Canadian graphic designer of Austrian origin who became a pioneer of Canadian International Style graphic design after migrating to Canada in 1953.[2] He worked for various studios before founding his own company, Roch Design, in 1960, the same year the Art Buromobel symbol was created.[2][1]
Roch was involved in all fields of graphic design, including trademarks, posters, packaging, books, security and architectural graphics, as well as complete identity programmes.[2] His better-known work includes the identity for the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, featuring a hexagonal symbol.[3]
Beyond the attribution to Roch and the 1960 date, little documented information about the Art Buromobel mark itself is publicly available. The company operated as a furniture brand in Canada, but no detailed records of its history, the logo’s intended meaning, or subsequent redesigns have been located in the research sources.
Meaning and Symbolism
No documented explanation of the Art Buromobel symbol’s meaning has been found in the available sources. The mark’s angular, rectangular and block-shaped qualities are the only verifiable visual characteristics noted in the research.[1]
