Who we are

Studio Beige is a Rotterdam-based design studio founded in 2003, specialising in concept, strategy and design. We focus on printed matter as well as webdesign and count among our clients commercial and non-profit organisations both large and small.  We create visual identities, bookdesigns, magazines, campaigns and websites. At Studio Beige we cherish a love for typography, which tends to show in just about anything we do. Moreover we like to use unusual materials and apply special techniques. As a result we deliver striking, tactile and highly communicative designs.

What we do

We like to keep things clear. We work hard to find out what makes our clients tick. We also work hard to listen and subsequently analyse and definine the problems posed. We work even harder to translate this information into a relevant, well-thought-out design as well as an accurately manufactured product.

What we don't do

- Give up when our initial proposals aren't met with enthusiasm
- Assume we know better (although occasionally we do)
- Make promises we can't keep
- Take ourselves too seriously (although occasionally we do)

How we go about it

Typical of the way we work is that we ask questions, take time to listen and ascertain facts. Our creative process departs from research and strategy. The clearer we define a project, the better the results will be.

What we think is important

Creating beautiful designs. Every single decision we make during the creative process originates from the desire to deliver beautiful designs. We achieve this by operating in small teams and keeping the lines of communication with our clients short and clear. Not only does this contribute to a sound collaberation with our clients, it's also essential when you're aiming for the best possible design.

When do we involve others

There's always a possibility that at some point certain ideas and needs are articulated that might require additional skills or more manpower. That's why we collaborate with a select group of professionals such as photographers, illustrators, copywriters and web developers who are dedicated to their profession and understand what we think is important.
