Biophilic Design

We are Bienvenue Studios, a graphic design agency from Zurich. We turn nature into visual culture. Using the beauty of nature, we create an environment from which one can draw vitalizing strength and sensory stimulation, as well as aesthetic well-being. Through our designs, we want to bring this positive effect in your daily life.

Our activities are split between self initiated design products and graphic design services.

Bienvenue Studios design work: Deadwood riso print and notebooks

DESIGN PRODUCTS

We research natural phenomenons by going to the root of their origin and cultural signification. As a result, we produce prints in limited editions, postcards, notebooks and art books. To showcase them, we create various displays and wood frames, which are made in Switzerland from sustainable materials.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

For the development of our design concepts, nature is our inspiration. With a lot of passion and attention to details, we implement visual solutions. Our services range from branding, print and web design, up to interior color concepts, image staging and signage.

OUR LATEST PRODUCT

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

In Vals, one takes their time. And in Vals we fell out of time. A true retreat. For the restaurant “Silver” of the “7132” hotel we created an art book and art prints. The art book is also the menu card and entertains the guests while they wait for their meal.

NEWS

We are making a small contribution and have made a selection of our Small Print Collections available to WWF Switzerland. They are now selling them directly through their online store. The profit of this sale goes 100% to the WWF.

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.
