Editorial

We create distinctive catalogs, brochures, and program booklets in which typography, visual language, layout, and materiality come together to form a cohesive whole. The result is high-quality print media that brings stories to life, provides clear guidance, and conveys complex topics in a way that is both clear and emotionally engaging—particularly in the fields of culture, art, architecture, and science.

Signage

We design analog, digital, and hybrid signage systems for architectural projects and public spaces. By analyzing pathways, usage patterns, and information needs, we create clear, user-centered wayfinding systems that provide guidance, improve processes, and enhance the quality of the space in the long term—sensitively integrated, designed to be accessible, and implemented with a view to the future.

Space

We combine architecture and visual communication to create context-driven spatial concepts, brand spaces, installations, and places of remembrance. This results in striking designs that provide orientation, evoke emotions, and leave a lasting impression on spaces—multidisciplinary, clearly structured, and executed across all project phases.

Our approach

We view design as a systemic, interdisciplinary, and interpretive process—from the initial idea through to consistent implementation. We advise clients in the fields of art, culture, public administration, and business.

Sustainability is a natural part of our work: conceptual clarity, durable design systems, and a conscious choice of materials and media characterize our work. At the same time, we use contemporary tools and new technologies to develop future-proof solutions and make complex content understandable. In doing so, we combine strategic thinking with high artistic and design quality.

The office was founded in 1983 by Eberhard Stauß. Frank Abele joined in 1991, became a partner with Ursula Wangler in 2000, and today runs the office as sole owner with his interdisciplinary team of 13 designers.

Our approach: Design that is compelling both artistically and in terms of content, that touches people emotionally, and that structures content in such a way that it is understandable, remains relevant over the long term, and makes sense within its context.
