Area of Speciality
Professional curiosity, experience, criticism of one's own work and a high demand on the result, characterise the creative work. For our clients, who are primarily active in the cultural-institutional sector (museums, publishers, cultural events organisers, state and municipal authorities), we bring into a good shape books, catalogues, brochures, posters, simple and complex visuals, signage and graphic guidance systems and much more.

Further information
We value and cultivate a partnership-based, open and solution-oriented dialogue with our clients. This is the background for the development of visual design: from the theoretical examination of the subject to the idea, on to the coherent concept and precise design and to the careful realisation and implementation.
Together with our clients, we have received numerous national and international awards, including "Most Beautiful Swiss Books", "Most Beautiful Books in the World", "German Prize for Communication Design (now reddot award)", ICMA International Creative Media Awards".
