Claire Rosen's Birds of a Feather pairs live bird portraits with historically inspired backdrops, creating an interplay that explores beauty, domestication, and our impulse to collect and categorize nature.

The design resolves the challenge of blending Victorian opulence with contemporary design. Ornamental references drawn from scientific illustration and Victorian wallpaper are balanced by modern typographic sensibility, full bleeds and a modern approach to the organizing structure. This tension creates a timeless object that feels historical and contemporary.
