Ageing well. And winning Gold and the Grand Prix along the way.

Our guide «Gut altern» (Ageing Well), created for Helsana, received two awards at the Best of Corporate Print Awards 2026 in Hamburg: Gold and the Grand Prix, the highest honour of the BCM Awards.
The jury commented:

“Wow! Really cool illustrations and perfectly portioned content with outstanding visual quality.”
And added:

“The design is thoughtful and makes you want to pick up the guide again and again.”

That’s exactly what we aim for. Making complex health topics accessible, surprising and visually distinctive. With bold illustrations, unexpected imagery, well-researched content and a good dose of humour.
We’re particularly pleased that the Grand Prix recognises not just «Gut altern», but the entire Helsana guide series.

A big thank you to Helsana for their longstanding trust and to everyone involved in bringing this series to life.

Here’s a little glimpse into the award-winning edition.

Bronze Cube. New York. 🟫🏆

Excited to share that we’ve won a bronze cube at the 105th edition of the competition in New York for our branding for .

A huge thank you to for the trust and for choosing us to develop this identity together. Creating this project was a true joy from start to finish — a collaborative process full of energy, curiosity and a lot of fun. And … even the Americans liked it … 🇺🇸✨

The new identity for Theater Neumarkt is rooted in the idea of the theater as a guild — a collective of actors as masters of their craft. Inspired by the historic surroundings of Zurich’s Froschaugasse, one of the birthplaces of early Bible printing during the Reformation, the visual language merges blackletter typography, heraldic symbolism and contemporary interpretation into a bold new identity shaped by the power of language and storytelling.

Huge thanks to everyone involved ❤️

Behind the shine of gold lies exploitation and environmental destruction. In its final 2025 issue, Greenpeace Magazine exposed illegal mining in Ghana — and Switzerland’s key role in the trade.

Skin protects, feels, regenerates — and tells stories.
Our latest work for the Helsana Guide "Skin" explores the human body’s largest sensory organ as far more than just a surface. A fascinating system that connects us to the world, reacts to emotions and renews itself every single day.

We’re especially proud of the beautiful illustrations by , which bring the topic to life with warmth, clarity and character.

Every decade had a look. Every object had a story.

The new ZH is here — and it's all about TIME. We're unpacking the aesthetics of eras gone by through iconic design objects, with Christian Brändle of the Museum für Gestaltung as our guide through the decades.

Plus: What makes things last? A deep dive into longevity, a practical guide to the 2nd pillar, and slow explorations across Kanton Zürich.
