Stationery and invitations

Designers and calligraphers for save-the-dates, invitations, menus, and signage. A consistent look across the paper sets the tone before anyone arrives, and print runs need a few weeks of lead time.

    Basel

    A Basel design atelier where Patrizia Nicosia hand-draws the illustrations and writes the calligraphy herself, so a suite reads as one piece rather than a mix of clip art and fonts.

    Ittigen, Bern
