New identity for Kunstverein Baselland across different applications featuring a specifically developed monolinear and monospace typeface and variable logo-system which depending on its application transforms itself into a countermark.
Publication for Pia Fries, accompanying her solo exhibition at Kunsthaus Baselland. The inside of the white screenprinted book-cover is split in two parts. The first part of the publication features a diverse array of text contributions set in a variable grid, overprinted at crucial points by Pia Fries’ work. The second part of the publication showcases exhibitions views at the Kunsthaus Baselland as well as past views, with a focus of the appearance of her artwork in various exhibition spaces.
Custom typeface, printed matter, exhibition graphics and animations for the Industrial Design program diploma exhibition in 2023 and 2024 at the Zurich University of the Arts. The sustainable exhibition scenography featuring isolation materials and tension belts functioned as the basis of our concept and design.
The publication “Listening to Artists” is a handy interview reader. Each interview runs across the two horizontal halves of the book in different layouts, bilingual in parallel. The different dynamics of the conducted conversations create diverse page views, which are held together by the consistently centered artist bios.
Visual identity for the experimental classical music festival Presenza; initiated by star-cellist Sol Gabetta, Balthazar Soulier and the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana (OSI). The identity consists of posters, flyers, animations, a magazine, various screen adaptations, as well as adverts. Our design concept refers to the visual language of notation systems and its translation into a typographic grid.
Poster, Flyer and Dossier for Things Veer, a new piece by Cosima Grand. “Four performers tread invisible paths. They oscillate and tune into each other and move in a cosmos of vibrating relationships. A kind of emotional formalism serves as the basis for their movements.”
The new website and the visual identity for the architecture office is held together by the overlapping yellow stripes always containing the content. The website has a focus on a two-column page layout that, analog to a publication, is intended to invite visitors to view, read, and browse through the office’s work. Webcode by Felix Niklas
The artist publication “Poem Police” accompanying the exhibition of the same name by Anne-Lise Coste, references various forms of publications, from the poetry album to an art catalog to a manifesto.

The design for this installation at Kunsthaus Zürich focuses on an areal, detailed view of the space filling artwork by Walter De Maria and unifies multiple perspectives and viewpoints through an interplay of printing techniques as well as the overlapping of shapes and typography.
