NEW: Shape-Shifting Experimental Architecture — Inspired by Henry Moore / Influenced by Electronic Sound [ More ]
Formed in 2021 by UK Brand Designer and Artist John Lancaster, A—HUMAN was established as a multidisciplinary research and design practice, to further explore how brands and online frameworks might work in future formats. Projects move fluidly between identity, concept and installation, extending to more abstract projects in art and publishing. You can own A—H limited editions and curated titles online.

SUBSCRIBE:
Created as an experimental subscription concept during the lockdown stretch of 2020, SUBS is a quarterly magazine, where content is often raw, honest and three-dimensional. As a zine, SUBS is is an affordable misfit, curated in-house to satisfy even the most disparate open-source technologist on a break from planet hybrid.
SIGN-UP > Way before online subscription models, the arrival of a package with your name on it was an event—for some, it still is. (More)
‘Under the disguise of escapism, SUBS is a quarterly design magazine—visually addressing the development of ‘negative areas’. Each issue offers up limited-edition work, presented in an extraordinary variety of formats’.
SELECTED PRODUCTS / ART YOU CAN TAKE HOME:
Since launching the online shop with a small run of T-shirts and bags, lines have quickly expanded to include books, posters, and original signed branded artworks.

SELECTED CASE STUDIES:
What if Henry Moore designed climate-adaptable architecture? If you were a MACHINE what MACHINE would you be? Questions asked are designed to be explored and resolved. Interested parties and clients are invited to view a cross-section of commissioned and independent work, spanning brand identities, refreshes and campaigns, websites, installations, and editorial formats. A—HUMAN collaborates with organisations, and founders on special projects that require inventive structure and strong creative direction. If you’re building something that needs a clear brand space — or something so new it doesn’t yet fit a format — we take that on too. (Work 01 / Work 02)
