11 years of our studio. 11 weeks. 11 years of work.

Next up: TISZA M4, a project we created in 2015 — spanning lookbook, brandbook, website and art direction.
For this iconic Hungarian heritage brand, we developed the visual world of the M4, a fresh and vibrant model inspired by the pulse, movement and energy of Budapest.
A contemporary take on a classic — rooted in heritage, made to move forward.

11 years of our studio. 11 weeks. 11 years of work.

We’re kicking off this anniversary series with a project we created for komma magazine 11 years ago
A spread illustrating FUTURE through simple, bold typography.

We chose this as our starting point because, back then, we couldn’t have known what the future would look like 11 years later, or how much we would experience, learn, change and grow along the way.
Now, looking back, it feels like the perfect place to begin.

Here’s to the next 11 years, opefully even more exciting, unexpected and full of great projects.

EDGE Architecture Festival Budapest 2026 was a remarkable international platform for architecture, design, and art, bringing together established and emerging voices through a rich programme of lectures, discussions, exhibitions, and awards. Both professionally and as a festival, it stood out as a high-quality and forward-thinking event.

We’re proud to have contributed not only to the visual identity, but also to the organisation, jury, and curatorial process, helping shape both the visual and conceptual direction of the festival.
The full communication and branding case study is now available on .

Thank you to everyone who made it happen — and see you next year!

EDGE Architecture Festival Budapest 2026 is an international platform exploring the future of architecture and design through lectures, discussions, exhibitions, and the EDGE Awards. Bringing together established and emerging voices, the festival creates space for critical dialogue around the ecological, technological, political, and cultural challenges shaping the built environment. In 2026, EDGE expanded beyond architecture for the first time, introducing dedicated art and design categories and broadening its interdisciplinary scope.

For the visual identity, we developed a bold communication system built around vibrant colours, strong typography, and an editorial approach that places headlines at the centre of the visual language. The identity was designed to reflect the festival's critical and forward-looking perspective while remaining highly adaptable across print, digital, and environmental applications.

Our role extended beyond graphic design and communication. We were actively involved in the organisation of the festival, participated in the awards jury, and contributed to the curatorial process, helping shape both the visual and conceptual direction of the event.

Somalia National Pavilion — La Biennale di Venezia 2026

SADDEXLEEY
The 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia marked a historic milestone with the opening of the first-ever Somalia National Pavilion. For SADDEXLEEY, featuring works by Ayan Farah, Asmaa Jama, and Warsan Shire, we developed a visual identity that translates the exhibition's themes into a contemporary graphic language while honoring Somalia's cultural heritage.

The identity is built around typography and a restrained graphic system inspired by Somali visual culture and the country's national colors. Designed to complement rather than compete with the artworks, the flexible identity was applied across exhibition graphics, environmental elements, printed materials, and digital communication, creating a cohesive visual experience throughout the pavilion.

Rituals of Beauty
Feather and Painting: Body Decoration in the Amazon - Photo Exhibition


Opened on 18 May 2026 at the Museum of Ethnography, Budapest, Rituals of Beauty presents photographs by Belgian cultural anthropologist Gustaaf Verswijver and his wife, Martine de Roeck, introducing the body decoration, ritual attire, celebrations, and concepts of beauty of the Amazonian mẽbêngôkre (Kayapó) community. Created in collaboration between ATELIER DE_VISION and DE_FORM, the project connects graphic design, architecture, and scenography within a unified spatial narrative. The visual system draws on the patterns of body painting and the circular forms of feather ornaments, using vivid tones in communication materials and deeper atmospheric colours in the exhibition space. The spatial design creates a gradually unfolding environment in which the photographs remain the protagonists. Large-scale background images, framed works, sightlines, angled compositions, and colour-coded thematic units guide visitors through body painting, feather ornaments, ritual attire, ceremonies, and everyday life, culminating in a central immersive installation.
