ABOUT

studio nicolas zupfer is a stuttgart-based design practice, established in 2015, specializing in visual communication for individuals and institutions engaged in art, design, education, music, theater, and related fields.

we believe that design can forge meaningful connections and cultural impact. our mission is to craft visual experiences that not only communicate but resonate deeply, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of the content.

our approach prioritizes open, collaborative processes over schematic solutions, with changing perspectives and practicing complicity as core principles. we often work in-situ at artist studios, museum offices, or rehearsal stages—developing designs in close dialogue with clients, fellow designers, production experts, and distribution specialists.

each design is content-based and concept-driven—balancing experimentation, craftmanship and budged. we utilize implicit conditions like occasion, strategy, structure, materiality, technology, production, distribution, perception as explicit design elements to create resonance between context, content, and form.

we work on a wide range of projects, including campaigns, publications, identities, websites, exhibitions—from start to finish, on both small and large scales. our services encompass concept, art direction, graphic design, web development, project management, and often extend to fundraising, consulting, editing, text, prompt engineering, photography, postproduction, and retouching.

strategically, we aim to create bespoke solutions and distinctive outcomes that convey content both rationally and intuitively. stylistically, we strive for complex simplicity, systematic poetry, rough elegance, and contemporary timelessness.
