Chwast’s characteristically witty and subversive design for the Tyler Offset Workshop, part of the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, is centered on two flamboyant-looking figures, one offering a match to the other who stands opposite him on a dark ground. The name of the workshop is relegated to small letters on the cover of the matchbox.
