le pense-bête pour ne rien oublier …

Press

Curseur is a shared shopping board for a household, for iPhone. It is a fixed list of the things you buy with a sliding curseur beside each one: flick it on when you need something, flick it off when it is in the trolley. Nothing is ever retyped.

The story

French households once kept a pense-bête à curseurs in the kitchen: an enamel board with the shopping painted on in columns, and a little cursor beside each line that slid across when something ran out. You never wrote a list. You read the board.

Curseur is that object, rebuilt for a phone. The board is shared by the people you live with, it is read in the supermarket with no signal, and the cursor still crosses a notch when you flick it.

It replaces the shared note that most households keep, and that nobody ever tidies.

The mark

The wordmark is artwork and is never set in type. The line beneath it — le pense-bête pour ne rien oublier … — is part of the mark and is never translated, in any language edition. It is French because the object is.

The kit

The wordmark, the mark, the curseur in both states, the board's design and the design language, in a zip built from the brand's own files at every build of this site. It is below.
