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

Studio Last is a multidisciplinary design studio spanning visual culture — from digital experiences and publications to platforms, editorial design and brand identities. Founded in Berlin in 2012 by Matthias Last, the studio brings form and function together in concepts that reach beyond surface aesthetics.

The defining qualities of a brand, project or idea are distilled into visual and content-driven narratives — resulting in work that is precise, distinctive and built to last.

Guided by clarity, restraint and an instinct for the unexpected, we develop, relaunch and redesign across print and digital, with a close eye on composition, detail and conceptual thinking.
