Onlab is a Swiss graphic design studio. The team works on short and long-term commissioned, collaborative and self-initiated projects, primarily in the cultural field of editorial design and visual communication in Switzerland and abroad. Onlab’s work ranges from books, visual identities and posters to websites, data visualisations and exhibition design.

The studio’s multidisciplinary approach involves collaborations with a wide network of professionals, including developers, architects, photographers, illustrators or filmmakers. Onlab’s process is thorough and respectful of content. The formal approach always bases on the subject to articulate a bespoke visual language, and to translate a topic into a highly aesthetic, haptic but also accessible product.

Onlab’s expertise extends beyond graphic design and is not media specific. Among other services, the studio offers global solutions for exhibitions, including visual communication and publications in addition to spatial design conception, resulting in a comprehensive and experience for visitors.

The team is also actively involved in education, teaching and giving workshops and lectures at various schools, universities and professional training programmes.
