Automatico Studio is an indipendent Swiss based design consultancy, working since 2007. Automatico applies a conceptual methodology to the design of: visual identities, wayfinding and exhibition design, with rich expertise in the fields of architecture, product design, modern and contemporary art. The solutions and output are always clear, sharp and distinct. Automatico Studio helps to define a clear positioning and develop a unique and compelling strategy. The studio was established by Demian Conrad ↗, who is AGI member.
Some of our long-term collaborations include campaigns for EPFL (Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology), exhibition design for Grand Palais de Paris, editorial design for Espazium publishing (Tracés), visual identity for Art Basel and way-finding for Audemars Piguet.
Simplicity, reduction, and proportion are an intrinsic part of the studio’s visual language. Automatico safeguards the elegant and essential, believing that less can be more. The studio achieves beauty through a functional and honest approach. Geometric truths and mastery of swiss typography are employed to achieve a simple but poetic solution. The studio is always in pursuit of the sublime, crafting forms that follow purpose.
