Stefan Jandl on launching Favorit Studio as a place to build brands and realise “countless ideas”

Zurich-based design duo Stefan Jandl and Andi Zellweger have made their long-standing collaboration official with the launch of Favorit Studio; forming a foundation for their self-initiated and commercial projects in the worlds of graphic design, packaging, product design and beyond. Having spoken to Stefan in July 2020 about their Swiss essentials brand Favorit & Co, we got back in touch to find out about its progression and what else they have in store. EM: Can you give us an update on what you’ve been up to and what you have going on, since we last spoke like this back in the middle of 2020? SJ: Since then, many changes have taken place. From one idea, one side project, many other side projects have emerged. It was a very wild time. We are in the process of building a tennis brand, a platform for sunscreens, have started the development of a local mineral water and have become active in the emerging field of digital art. Plus I started to accompany the development of a new platform for sustainable investments. In addition, we have many more ideas in mind and we can hardly wait to implement them. All this has led me to quit my job at the agency where I had worked for seven years and venture into self-employment. While I still maintain a very close working relationship with the agency, I’m now able to invest more time into my passion projects, product design, brand building and the realisation of countless ideas. Now it’s finally founded and has gained momentum – our own company – Favorit Studio.
