Having long orbited one another, ABC Dinamo, Grocery, and Otto Resource finally came together for the occasion of Function Complex II 🤠

Building on ABC’s original Connect typeface—created in 2023 with @bnag.cc, where screwhead-inspired motifs were applied over the solid “Nail” variant—we teamed up with long-time partner @felixsteindl and ABC’s @sascha.bente to design a new kind of screwhead.

The result: a shape echoing the Roman numeral “Ⅱ” that marked the exhibition’s second edition, and became the foundation for printed matter, signage, digital communication, and even our spatial design.

Developed together with Gabriella and Luc of @a_c_apostrophe_s, we sought to extend the typeface’s original mandate of “Uniting Fonts with Furniture” into a modular pillar system, made from two Roman numeral–like forms placed back-to-back.

Scroll through the gallery above to learn more about the development of ABC Connect II, and check out some of its applications!

Having just restocked our latest collaboration with Diemme, we wanted to take a moment to contextualize the subcultural references that guided our design process.

These references are not an attempt to claim punk, perform rebellion, or adopt a lifestyle that isn’t ours. Instead, they reflect a sustained curiosity about the societal conditions that produced these movements in the first place—post-industrial cities, youth alienation, music as refuge, and clothing as a self-authored uniform.

From new wave’s disciplined minimalism to Berlin punk’s abrasion and refusal, we examined how sound, image, and utility converged to form visual systems that were both functional and symbolic.

Rather than being a gesture of nostalgia, this project is about studying those histories with care, understanding how subcultures repurposed what was available, and allowing that curiosity to shape how we design today—grounded, informed, and attentive to context rather than costume.

The Otto Resource Purple Label and Grocery for Diemme capsule is now available online at grocerycopenhagen.com, diemme.com, and in-store at Grocery, Elmegade 21, 2200 Copenhagen 💜

Founded in 1893, @limonta1893 has evolved from a family-run mill into one of Italy’s leading textile innovators, bridging craftsmanship and chemistry to create materials where surface and structure carry equal narrative weight. From Hook Pro to Kanaserg and Papirok, its proprietary textiles demonstrate how function, tactility, and form can operate as storytelling devices rather than decorative afterthoughts.

Our collaboration began with Function Complex in 2024, where Limonta’s fabrics shaped both the construction and the conceptual language of the OR-PL Research Series. This year’s edition, developed once again with @grocerycopenhagen, expands that relationship: primary colors foreground the textiles themselves, highlighting how true longevity and conceptual clarity emerge not from trend, but from the integrity of the ingredients that underpin the garment’s design logic.

Shoebox sleeve + poster artwork for Function Complex Ⅱ, presented by @ottoresource & @grocerycopenhagen in collaboration with @diemmefootwear  
Huge thanks to @adammarkbarnard and @n.vig.c for inviting me into this project <3

The illustration merges elements from Yazoo’s 1982 Upstairs at Eric’s album cover with the alpine outlines of Tre Cime di Lavaredo — also central to Diemme’s identity.

The shoebox sleeve was created for the new OR-PL07.25 Collalto Hiking Boots in vivid red, and the sleek OR-PL08.25 Movida ’92 Sneakers. Both are available now at grocerycopenhagen.com, diemme.com, and in-store at Grocery, Elmegade 21, Copenhagen.

A quick look back at the Copenhagen launch of Function Complex II—and a preview of what’s next as the project travels to Berlin later this month.

The edition brought together a bespoke spatial system with @a_c_apostrophe_s, new textile explorations developed with @limonta1893, typographic interventions from @abcdinamo, and a footwear capsule with @diemmefootwear (available online from tomorrow).

Join us in Berlin for the second showing: explore the full installation, shop our various collaboration pieces, and discover the details behind our secret afterparty 🤫

On the occasion of Function Complex Ⅱ, Otto Resource and Grocery proudly present their latest footwear capsule with @diemmefootwear.

Offering a distinctly formal take on Diemme’s Movida ’92, alongside a striking pair of Collalto Hiking Boots in fiery red, the capsule underscores the vital role of research in design, while demonstrating a more nuanced approach to integrating (sub)cultural references into the practice of making.

Join us and our dear friends from Diemme next week in Copenhagen for a special in-store launch, the opening of Function Complex Ⅱ, and lots of prosecco.

It is with immense pride and joy that we announce the launch of “Function Complex II”.

Building on the ideas laid down in 2024, this second chapter reflects a year of thoughtful work and dedication toward what we believe is a necessary, new direction for design.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting @limonta1893 — a company with a deep legacy in textile innovation and craftsmanship. Rooted in over a century of experience, Limonta continues to push the boundaries of quality and technique in fabric development.⁠
