Hotel Arlberg is a luxurious hotel in Lech, an Austrian mountain village with over 305 kilometres of ski runs. The resort accommodates everyone from rally drivers and heads of state to locals and tourists, all there to enjoy the alpine cosiness. Bureau Rabensteiner, a design studio from Innsbruck 121 kilometres away, was asked to dust down the hotel’s vintage identity and give it a contemporary edge suitable for a new generation of customers. Their approach communicates the hotel’s premium quality through high-end materials and its legendary history with playful headlines and hand-drawn illustrations.

St Gilles Gillis is one of Brussels’ nineteen boroughs, located to the south of the Belgian capital city. It has become one of the most vibrant and rapidly changing boroughs of the city, attracting tourists and locals alike thanks to its indie galleries and art nouveau buildings. The local council delivered Stoëmp Studio with the brief of creating an identity for the area that would speak clearly and concisely to both the visitors and inhabitants. The studio made the radical and challenging choice of using a single weight sans serif typeface across the entire identity, guaranteeing both a long-lasting design across all media and ease of use for local staff and external partners if required. The project involved complex and layered talks with local council members and political representatives during all phases, taking into consideration their challenging feedback in order to reach a solution that generated enthusiasm in the region.
