Nicolas Bernklau on establishing his bureau as an “umbrella” for graphic and type design projects

Nicolas Bernklau is a graphic designer with a particular focus on typography. Based in the Swiss city of Lausanne after spells with Jung von Matt and Deutsche & Japaner in Germany, he has officially established his own practice as Bureau Bernklau; providing him with a base to develop bespoke type solutions and graphic design that lives beyond our over-populated, never-ending social media feeds. EM: Hi Nicolas, congrats on the website launch! How does it feel to officially launch Bureau Bernklau? NB: Bonjour Elliott. Thanks for having me. It feels surreal! In a positive way. I think most creatives can agree on the fact that working on your own website constantly gets moved down on the personal to-do list. Anyways, finding the right moment to take the next step in my own design practice and get it out in the world feels great.
