EDITORIAL DESIGN

With an avid passion for detail that ranges from compelling and well curated content to the tangible qualities of each publication, we design and develop fashion magazines, books, newspapers and supplements for publishing houses, corporations and brands.

VISUAL IDENTITY

We create substantial and intelligible visual concepts that enable a strong relationship with your audience and that fully comply with your personality.

WEB DESIGN

We specialize in unique online experiences for all devices that are innovative, user-friendly and instantly engaging.

RELAUNCH & DEVELOPMENT

We are accomplished in developing, relaunching and redesigning digital and print media such as websites, magazines, supplements and newspapers. We have years of experience in reshaping print media, and made it our mission to always reach beyond contemporary standards and aim for what is outstanding and unexpected.

CORPORATE PUBLISHING

Every company has a story to tell. Our work aims to distill the essence of that story and make it a palpable and engaging experience for your audience, may it be for your magazine, book or any other form of publication.

ART & CREATIVE DIRECTION

From fashion shoots, campaigns and web presence to editorials: we consult you on the overall creative direction and develop visual concepts and guidelines – in short: we refine the vision of your project.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

We always seek out the ideal correlation between form and content. Our designs are made with passion and care for details.

About

HOME AT LAST

Studio Last is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Berlin, founded in 2012. The studio’s practice reflects Last’s vision of merging form and function — creating cohesive, holistic concepts across digital and print media.

Believing that meaningful design extends beyond surface aesthetics, Matthias Last and his team emphasize the essential qualities of brands, projects, and ideas through both visual and content-driven narratives.

With a precise focus on materiality, detail, and composition, Studio Last specializes in the development, relaunch, and redesign of media — from print publications to digital platforms and visual identities — reimagining and refining them with understated elegance and a subtle sense of the unexpected.
