Idea 387, international graphic art and typography magazine from Japan, features a meaningful insight into the visual design scene in Ticino. Studio CCRZ presented a full overview on past and recent works, plus a really pleasant conversation with our friend Arata Maruyama.
Chiassoletteraria 2019
The title of the 14th edition takes its origin from the novel by Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) and it means to be an opportunity to reflect on changes that are transforming the contemporary world. The imagery linked to literature and popular science-fiction movies and the epopee of space conquest are the inspiration for this year’s visual identity project.
Awareness campaign – Città di Lugano
A production of four TV commercials on urban cohabitation issues. A project curated by CCRZ, Studio 9010, Communication Agency of the City of Lugano.
Teatro del Tempo – La Via Lattea
Like a melody of sounds, words, steps, paths, architectures, landscapes, the identity of the Teatro del Tempo is build upon a system of symbols.
Città di Lugano
We love our territory. In order to preserve and promote respect for the city and citizens, Lugano launched a courtesy campaign, as a kind gesture of resistance against bad habits. We supported this project through design giant posters and a small booklet.

Visual identity for the 13th edition of Chiasso Letteraria
Taboo is this year’s specific theme of the great literary festival of Chiasso. Therefore the visual identity it’s all about going beyond the rules. Massive title speaks in a loud voice using classic colours of prohibition black and red, accompanied by bizarre forms of censorship, erasure, and mysterious images, maybe a sort of subliminal messages. Between sacred and profane.
Graphic and exhibition design for Città di Lugano
The city offers plenty of possibilities of professional training and job opportunity. For the biennial Expo dedicated to young people we designed a special visual identity based on flashy colours, statuary letters, abstract symbols.
Publication for the exhibition at Teatro dell’Architettura
The new building by Mario Botta in the Architecture Academy campus opened with the exhibition “Sette Architetture Automatiche e altri esercizi” by the Atelier Blumer. The book recalls the overall approach to this exhibited design practice: think, experiment, play.
Gallotti&Radice Home catalogues 2017/18
Two new born graphic projects for Gallotti&Radice: a premium canvas-cover catalogue “Materia, Luce, Trama”; and the “Homescapes” compendium. Rich textures, bold colours, and warm feelings, both in objects and in paper.
The Luceplan product collections 2017/18
We’ve been designing Luceplan communication for several years, and every year we want to invent something special. Very glad to present here the new product collections catalogue, cover available in five tempting colours. Art direction and graphic design by us.
Accademia di architettura di Mendrisio yearbook
Another challenging work for the Università della Svizzera italiana, for which we re-designed the whole identity. This is the 2017 yearbook for the Academy of Architecture of Mendrisio, out now. Simple, colorful, beautiful.
Communicating the 10th Biennale dell’Immagine
The Biennale is back. The 10th Biennale dell’immagine covers from mid-October to mid-December more than 40 great events and exhibitions not only in Chiasso, but in the whole canton of Ticino. Studio CCRZ, Alfio Mazzei, and Leonardo Angelucci take care of the communication design.
1h clean
10 years ago we designed visual identity and shop interiors for the Swiss dry cleaning brand 1h clean. For their recent shop opening, they asked us to also redesign the façade of the building, bringing brand values such as efficiency, trust and reliable cleanliness into the architectonical project.
Sulle vie dell’Illuminazione
The exhibition “Sulle vie dell’Illuminazione” curated by Elio Schenini at the MASI Lugano reconstructs the myth of India in Western Culture from the early nineteenth century until today. CCRZ designed the sophisticated, almost encyclopedic catalogue, published by Skira, with the psychedelic touch of the beat generation.

Rawstove
That’s our stove, used here in the studio and in our homes. Why did we design it? Because somebody had to do it, since there was nothing similiar on the market. Simple and functional, and manufactured with maximum attention to detail. The project was conducted in collaboration with Paolo Brambilla. Soon for sale – stay tuned.
