Emptiness, lightness, 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 the quest of sublime even in noisy times. You can not measure beauty, but you can feel it.
Automatico begins and ends with respect for your audience, believing that a visually educated audience deserves refined and sophisticated narratives. The studio embraces its own independence and is detached from trends or commercial styles. Automatico creates enduring solutions, providing long-term value in both social and cultural arenas.
Some of our clients: EPFL, Art Basel, Pro Helvetia, Grand Palais de Paris, unternehmen mitte and espazium.
