Studio Feixen is an independent Design Studio based in Lucerne, Switzerland that creates visual concepts. We focus specifically on nothing in particular. Whether it’s graphic design, interior design, fashion design, type design or animation – as long as it challenges us – we are interested. We work internationally with clients like Nike, Google, Hermès or The New York Times as well as more locally with institutions like Wanderlust or the Nuits Sonores Festival in France, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Südpol or the Luzerner Theater.
Felix Pfäffli
Started Feixen in 2009. Teacher at Fachklasse Grafik Luzern. Youngest member in the history of AGI. Gave lectures, organized exhibitions, workshops and won prizes worldwide. Responsible for the necessary chaos in our designs.

Quotes
«Studio Feixen’s lavish poster designs are some of the finest we’ve seen in a very long while»
«If the medium is the message, then Pfäffli designs with an agile understanding of what works both on paper and on screen. Rendered page corners, tears, and collage all appear in their digital incarnations, as well as an adherence to traditional print dimensions—visual cues that at once upend and revere the poster format.»
«Studio Feixen’s vibrant posters are a cry for typographic rebellion, using expertly manipulated letterforms to prove that rules are there to be broken.»
«Felix Pfäffli, der für seine aussergewöhnlichen Bildwelten als Shootingstar der Schweizer Grafik gefeiert wird, will alte Raster und Standards auflockern, alles neu denken. Lautstark, selbstbewusst, bold und typografisch getrieben – diesen Drive behält Studio Feixen bei.»
