The dates are set! Manifesta 16 Ruhr will take place from the 21st of June to the 4th of October 2026. The Press and Professional Preview Days will take place from the 18th until the 20th of June 2026.
We are proud to share the visual identity for Manifesta 16 Ruhr – the result of an inspiring collaboration with the design studio NODE Berlin Oslo (@nodeberlinoslo )!
Their design takes inspiration from the Ruhr Area’s industrial past, featuring a custom typeface that references milling processes. Its linear character also nods to transport and data routes, blending past and future into Manifesta 16 Ruhr’s visual language.

📄 Los alumnos del Master en Diseño Editorial (@graphic.elisava ) participaron en un workshop a cargo de Serge Rompza (@sergerompza ), cofundador del estudio de diseño NODE (@nodeberlinoslo ).
Pudieron aprender sobre la historia del diseño gráfico desde una perspectiva global. Cada estudiante investigó a un diseñador y creó un póster que refleja su trabajo, contexto y forma de pensar. Los resultados fueron pósters tanto impresos como versiones digitales adaptadas para Instagram.

Next week, a workshop with Elisava students takes place in ☀️Barcelona — here’s a look back at last spring’s project @graphic.elisava@elisava.school@mostbeautifulswissbooks
The design of the exhibition *Just delivered: The Most Beautiful Swiss Books Visit Barcelona* was the outcome of a workshop led by Serge Rompza @sergerompza from NODE Berlin Oslo with the students from the two editions of the Master in Editorial Design in 2025. This display presented the winners of The Most Beautiful Swiss Books awarded in 2024.
During the short week, the students studied the individual books and interpreted them as graphics on the wall, both in print and in the form of a collaborative video. The exhibition displays were also part of the assignment.

📯Special postage stamp for the 250th birthday of E.T.A. Hoffmann
🐭 Sonderpostwertzeichen zum 250. Geburtstag von E.T.A. Hoffmann
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776–1822) gilt bis heute als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der sogenannten »Schwarzen Romantik«. Doch der Autor vielfach gelesener Erzählungen, die von Jacques Offenbach und Pjotr Iljitsch Tschaikowski vertont wurden, war weit mehr als Schriftsteller: ausgebildeter Jurist, talentierter Zeichner, leidenschaftlicher Musiker und Komponist. Seine literarischen Werke sind geprägt von psychologischer Schärfe, feinsinnigem Humor und formaler Innovationslust – lange vor anderen experimentierte Hoffmann mit Verfahren wie der Collage.
Das Spannungsfeld von Realität und Phantasie, oft bis an den Rand des Wahnsinns, prägt Werke wie Der Sandmann, Die Elixiere des Teufels oder Die Bergwerke zu Falun. Auch in Nußknacker und Mausekönig und Der goldene Topf erweist sich das bürgerliche Idyll als brüchig. In den Lebens-Ansichten des Katers Murr verschränkt Hoffmann virtuos die Geschichte des Musikers Kreisler mit der Selbstinszenierung eines Katers. Zudem verfasste er mit Das Fräulein von Scuderi den ersten Kriminalroman der deutschen Literatur.

A text-based animation for the exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center, Oslo, which shows terms and quotes on the topic of peace throughout history.
War is Peace? is a group exhibition featuring works from the 19th century to the present day - from Francisco Goya’s harrowing depictions of war, through Yoko Ono’s activist pieces, to Barbara Kruger’s bold, graphic messages.
Is violence an inevitable part of human nature? Can peace be more than just the absence of conflict? Can we imagine a peace founded on care, justice, and belonging? In a time of global disorder, War is Peace? challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths and envision paths to peace that we may not yet have words for.
The exhibition features works by Antoine d’Agata, Carolina Caycedo, Marius Engh, Ernst Friedrich, Francisco Goya, Nanna Heitmann, Barbara Kruger, and Yoko Ono.
The title „War is Peace“ is taken from George Orwell’s iconic novel 1984. The Party that rules the dystopian one-party state of Oceania, as described in the book, uses language as a tool of power to suppress the population. One of their slogans is War is Peace. War keeps the population united and obedient, which creates a kind of internal peace and stability within society.

LAVA is a global network practice that questions, explores, and innovates through architecture. We developed the new corporate identity and website for the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA)
The Work section showcases selected architecture and design projects across cultures and climates. LAB serves as a platform for architectural discourse, futurism, and critical analysis of the social, technological, and cultural forces shaping the future. The About section introduces the network, its approach, and its structure.
The new LAVA logo emerges from a reduction of form: the characters L, /, and \. These typographic units function simultaneously as architectural primitives and digital code.

A new website for Estudio Teddy Cruz & Fonna Forman, San Diego, featuring extensive filter options. The studio positions the San Diego–Tijuana border region as a global laboratory for addressing the central challenges of urbanization today: widening social and economic inequality, dramatic migratory shifts, urban informality, climate change, the fortification of border walls, and the decline of public discourse. The projects and initiatives presented here mobilize design and political thought to counteract homogenization and exclusion in the city, fostering diverse social and spatial programs for cross-border interdependence.
