Invitation flyer for a special evening

Flyers for the typeface itself dates back to the 1930s, the type treatment with the glow and the cold neon color scheme provide the desired 1980s atmosphere. Depicted is Heinz H. Landes' cantilever chair Solid from 1986 (photo: Martin Adam, Berlin © VGBild-Kunst, Bonn 2014).
