In 2007, be-poles™ created an editorial department with a collection of travel notebooks entitled Portraits de Villes. Four cities, four photographers, four portraits. The beginning of a long voyage. A precious one. Adhering to its own typographic culture which combines elegance and simplicity, equilibrium and homothety, precision in details and proportions, be-poles is adding its contribution to the book of photographs.

The guest artist is offered a carte blanche to illustrate the city of his/her choice. Each Portraits de Villes is an unique journey led by the singular vision of the artist who has been chosen for the richness and sensitivity of his vocabulary.

A B O U T T H E S T U D I O

Based in Paris, with offices in New York, and carrying out projects around the world, be-poles is also a creative studio dedicated to building strong and lasting brands.

« be-poles is like a creative lab using a true craftsman's approach »
