Hauser, SchwarzDesign and branding in Basel

Visual communication and graphic design for the cultural and institutional sector form the focus of this Basel-based studio. Its visible body of work includes projects for the Solothurn Film Festival, the Culturescapes festival and a comic competition, as well as visual identities for exhibitions and local events. Property and site development projects such as Areal Oedenhof and Kaserne Basel are also documented. More than two dozen project examples offer insight into a style that combines conceptual thinking with careful typographic and design execution. Cultural institutions, public bodies and regional clients take centre stage. The website appears in German, French and English, hinting at a reach beyond the region. From the first idea through to the finished print or exhibition piece, the team accompanies its projects, with its close ties to art, film and exhibition-making shaping its design approach.
