Netflix:
Cabinet of Curiosities
We had the chance to work on a special series created by famed fantasy horror director Guillermo del Toro. The series is called “Cabinet of Curiosities” and is produced by Netflix.
Client: Netflix
Agency: Lafayette American
Partners: Justin Erickson, Todd Baxter and Midnight Oil
Role: Creative Director
Design Treatment
The series tells tales about objects from a cabinet, and Guillermo introduces each episode showing one of the objects pertaining to the plot.
We were asked to use the cabinet, the objects, and Guillermo in a design that ties them together. We came up with a design showing Guillermo’s head to be holding the objects, like the cabinet.
The look came from rough sketches we did, and then tightened up with the help of designer Justin Erickson. Then the design was completed and animated by Todd Baxter and Midnight Oil.
