Inspired by the slightly blurry and rounded lettering on screen in the filmmaker’s films, this font works alongside a black and white visual language, combining lines and curves to frame content and develop exhibition furniture. The visual system also refers to film and allows the creation of poster series incorporating multiple images.

Galerie C is an independent contemporary art space in Neuchâtel founded in 2011 by Christian Egger. Following the opening of a second exhibition space in the heart of the Marais district in Paris, the corporate identity was revamped with a typographic facelift and an adaptation of the logo we designed back in 2010. The aim was to provide better visibility for the artists presented and better complementarity between digital and printed communication.

Drawing inspiration from concrete poetry, the graphic system combines typography with vibrant colors to challenge and infuse energy into a domain that is often communicated in a reserved manner. Carefully art directed photography is also a critical component of the design, presenting the faces of today’s Swiss literature. These elements blend to create a bold and minimalistic communication that celebrates the power of the written word.

The exhibition dedicated to the work of the photographer Fred Boissonnas (1858–1946) focuses on a little-known yet crucial part of his career: his travels in the Mediterranean, which he crossed in the first three decades of the 20th century in search of light, Homeric sites and biblical landscapes. In an immersive approach despite the small formats exhibited, giant wallpapers images punctuate the exhibition that takes up Mediterranean codes through its architecture, furniture, colors, and materials, including a sand-like carpet covering its entire floor.

Brothers Yakov and Evgeny Henkin were born around 1900 in Russia, to a wealthy Jewish family. They both shared a passion for photography, which they pursued separately throughout the 1930s – one in Leningrad, the other in Berlin. The two brothers wandered their lenses through parks and boulevards and documented demonstrations, sports competitions or popular festivals. Presenting the work of each brother separately through similar topics, the book design and its layout draws inspiration from the constructivist style and publications of the time.

Between 1534 and 1535, extremist Anabaptists sought to establish the kingdom of God on earth. This story has inspired many writers, including Friedrich Dürrenmatt, who made it the subject of his first play, “Es ist geschrieben”, in 1947. The play was staged in Paris in 1952 as “Les Fous de Dieu”, causing a polemic but also launching his career as a playwright. The design of the exhibition draws on this scandal, using newspaper clippings and headlines, as well as various archive materials, to explore Dürrenmatt’s complex relationship with faith throughout his life.

This book was published as part of the “Enquête photographique neuchâteloise”, project launched in 2013 with biennial commissions awarded to selected artists to build a photographic “heritage of tomorrow” for the canton. Photographer Serge Fruehauf, with a keen interest in the built environment, presents a current and subjective panorama of the canton’s architectural culture. Fruehauf’s images focus on significant details that are often perceived as banal, yet reveal the latent potential of architecture. The book lays out all photographs taken by Fruehauf in a chronologically and generated sequence where only format changes are used to draw attention to specific images.

Photographer Serge Fruehauf, with a keen interest in the built environment, presents a current and subjective panorama of the canton’s architectural culture. Fruehauf’s images focus on significant details that are often perceived as banal, yet reveal the latent potential of architecture. The book lays out all photographs taken by Fruehauf in a chronologically and generated sequence where only format changes are used to draw attention to specific images.

The exhibition and its accompanying publication have a distinct visual identity that draws inspiration from the color scheme of monochromatic paintings used on the lower part of walls in Soviet buildings. This design principle is employed in the exhibition for wall panels and titles, as well as in the book for chapter pages and the cover. The color palette complements a custom typeface that was created specifically for the project. This modernist sans-serif typeface can display both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, making it suitable for use in various media throughout the project.

Through more than 400 objects, 700 literary quotations, and 400 vintage photographs, this book offers a unique dive into a vanished world: the “Soviet civilization”. The most ordinary objects provide an opportunity to detail the lifestyles that marked all the countries of the former USSR between Stalin’s death (1953) and the beginning of perestroika (1985). In counterpoint to the main text, literary excerpts and vintage photographs help to give substance to the often paradoxical experience of Soviet daily life.

This exhibition offers a unique glimpse into the vanished “Soviet civilization”. By showcasing ordinary objects, the exhibition provides insight into the lifestyles that were present throughout the former USSR from Stalin’s death in 1953 to the beginning of perestroika in 1985. These objects, designed according to a different set of specifications than their Western counterparts, offer an alternative path for 20th-century design. A bespoke furniture system was developed to display these heterogenous objects, as well as various documents and artworks, including posters, photographs, or film excerpts to coexist in thematic clusters.

The Centre Dürrenmatt Neuchâtel (CDN) showcases the paintings of Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–90), the world-renowned writer and playwright, as they relate to his literary works in a permanent exhibition. Designed by Mario Botta around Dürrenmatt’s former home, the museum also stages temporary exhibitions and events. We completely redesigned the museum’s identity in 2016, revamping the existing logo and developing a new visual system based on the “umlaut”, symbol of the bilingualism of the writer and the institution. The visual system is regularly expressed through posters and flyers, exhibition graphics and related publications, among other mediums.

This publication examines the possibilities of updating the spatial structure of post-war modernist flat floor plans created during the building boom between 1960 and 1970. The authors analyse existing floor plan typologies in the context of the social changes that have significantly altered housing and household forms in the meantime: To what extent do the functionally optimised housing units meet the requirements of today’s society and how adaptable are they to new forms of living? Can an appropriate result be achieved with small interventions?

With biennial commissions awarded to selected artists, the project aims to build a photographic “heritage of tomorrow” for the canton. The infrastructure for mobility and social cohesion have been changing profoundly in this region for years. Photographer Mingard made it his task to photographically question traces of these developments. He followed the route of the “TransRun” project, an express railway project between the two urban agglomerations of the canton, Neuchâtel and La Chaux-de-Fonds, which was rejected by the population in a referendum in 2012.
