123buero

Hello and welcome to 123buero™, a Berlin based Graphic Design Studio that consults, develops and realises contemporary projects across a wide range of divers sectors.

Believing that Design foremost is a discipline of analytic thinking, progressive attitude and professional craft, my work processes from content related idea into a conceptual visual language, which is often based on typographical solutions that also implicates production, material and the recipients all over experience into the final product—in addition, I develop Typefaces that results out of specific situations and necessities to apply as an extension to my projects.

123buero™ provides services in the
classic field of Graphic Design: analizing, developing and designing all kinds of printed and digital matters, signage systems, typefaces, exhibitions and corporate appearances—including an overall project managment and consulting.

Before studying at Kunstacademie Maastricht, University of Arts, Berlin and Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, I’ve been
a trainee at ‘Die Zeit Magazin’ and freelanced
for various companies such like MTV Networks
or Neue Sentimental Film in Hamburg. During
my studies, I was a founder member & creative director of Balcony Magazine in Paris. After
my diploma graduation in 2001 at Rietveld Academy in Graphic Design, I moved to Berlin
and founded 123buero™ in 2002.

This site shows a selection of my favorite projects and gives an overview of the studios’ practise and activities so far. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate, I’m looking forward to
get to know anyone who’s interested.

Sincerely yours,
Timo Gaessner.
