Celebrating Opposites with Fedrigoni 365

We’re thrilled to announce Showcase Creative's involvement in the 2025 edition of the Fedrigoni 365 project, an annual publication that celebrates the creativity and diversity of mainly UK-based designers. Since its inception in 2017, Fedrigoni 365 has become a staple in the design calendar, uniting hundreds of creatives.

This year’s theme, Opposites, focuses on finding harmony in contrast and celebrating diversity. Featuring two complementary volumes — one dark, one light-coloured — the 2025 edition showcases the work of 730 designers, each bringing their individual style to their given date and theme. The volumes inspire conversations and collaborations, fostering new connections among creatives.

At Showcase Creative, we’re proud to have produced the custom slipcases for this edition. Our slipcases complement the duality of the theme by using two coloured Fedrigoni papers per box, reversed between the interior and exterior for each pair. This innovative approach results in eight unique box colour variations on Imitlin paper, perfectly reflecting the project's focus on contrasts and unity.

We first spoke with Fedrigoni about the project last year, when we proposed the idea of creating slipcases for the publication. Working closely with Fedrigoni UK and design studio TM, we developed prototypes to ensure the cases upheld the publication’s meticulous quality and design.

Launch Events

The Fedrigoni 365 launch events highlighted the innovation and teamwork that make this project so special. Two London events featured a student workshop, afternoon talks, and evening gatherings, where Jack, one of Showcase Creative’s owners, and Maz, our Client Relationship Director, gave talks about our role in the project and some history of our company. The Manchester launch, provided another fantastic opportunity to connect with the creative community and celebrate this year’s edition.

If you missed the London events, you can watch the talks online here—Jack’s talk begins at 30:21. Additionally, extra copies of the Fedrigoni 365 - 2025 edition will be available to purchase through Counter-Print, with profits supporting The Alzheimer’s Society. This continues Fedrigoni 365’s tradition of supporting charitable causes, with previous editions raising over £35,000.

We’re honoured to have played a part in this project and are thrilled to see how the design community embraces the Fedrigoni 365 2025 edition. For more information about the project, visit Fedrigoni365.com.
