Biophilic Design
We are Bienvenue Studios, a graphic design agency based in Zurich. We transform nature into visual culture. Environments infused with natural elements have been proven to promote health and well-being. With our Biophilic Design, we bring this positive effect and the beauty of nature into your daily life.
Our work is divided into two main areas: we create standalone design products and fulfill graphic design projects for our clients.
DESIGN PRODUCTS
At Bienvenue Studios, we explore natural phenomena and translate them into graphic editions. We delve into their origins and cultural significance, presenting the results on limited prints, postcards, notebooks, and art books. Additionally, we design matching displays and wooden frames, crafted sustainably in Switzerland.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Inspired by nature, we develop design concepts with passion, creating tailored visual solutions for print and web. Our services include branding, print and web design, as well as spatial imagery, such as color concepts, scenography and signage.
JUBILEE – LAUNCH OF OUR 20TH SMALL PRINT COLLECTION “MOUNTAIN TREASURES”

A big thank you to everyone who came to the vernissage at the QWSTION store in Zurich. It was great to see so many of you. We appreciate your support and are grateful for the support we feel in our community and beyond.
Our new “Mountain Treasures” series celebrates the diversity and beauty of gemstones. Each set contains five prints of different minerals that capture the fascinating textures and colors of these natural works of art.

Bring the beauty of nature into your home with our new set of three small design displays. Dried flowers and branches in these vases will bring fresh energy to your rooms. Our “Clay Flora Displays” are made of natural clay and were produced using a high-precision 3D printing process.
OUR LATEST PROJECT
For the “summer residence” in the Sens restaurant at the Hotel Vitznauerhof, the team around celebrity chef Marcel Koolen, who has earned two stars in the Michelin Guide at the Silver restaurant of the 7132 Hotel in Vals, will be cooking. We designed the branding and menu cards for the “Silver makes Sens” gourmet experience.

We are overjoyed to have won the MBAL Young Artist Award, presented as part of the Triennial of Contemporary Printmaking! Now our exhibition “Into Mountains: Wear Your Mirror” will be shown at the Musée des beaux-arts in Le Locle.
JAPANESE ORGANIC COTTON TOWELS
Our towels are manufactured in southern Osaka, Japan, by a family business that has been perfecting its craft for over four generations. They still use the same shuttle loom machines from the late 1800s.
Extra-absorbent, very light, quick-drying: it is the result of a secret 2,5 gauze-layers weaving process perfected through the centuries.
SILK SCARVES IN COLLABORATION WITH SIRI SIRI
We have created this silk scarves in collaboration with the Japanese design brand SIRI SIRI, based on our Small Print Collections.
The scarves are printed in a workshop in Hyogo using inkjet printing, based on the traditional „Nassen“ technique. It was the precursor for today’s digital printing.
