Via Grafik is both a graphic design studio and an art collective based in Wiesbaden, Germany.

Working in the fields of graphic design, motion design, art direction and illustration, we are interested in developing design solutions at a unique visual level. Our aim hereby is to provide the best suitable design for the specific content of each individual project, wheter it be large or small.

The realisation of art projects increases our range of experience from which we richly profit on the creative process for commercial projects.

Our clients come from industries such as music, culture, art, and advertising as well as youth culture oriented brands. We work for clients like Nike, Adidas, Nintendo, MTV, VIVA, Junges  
Staatstheater Wiesbaden, We the People.

When Via Grafik was founded in 1998, four of us started as a graffiticrew, travelling and painting walls together. Since we all started to study design we didn’t only share our passion for graffiti and diverse aspects of youthculture but also our interest for graphic and motion design, architecture and fine arts. From then on we painted, worked on noncommercial projects and had exhibitions together.

In 2002 two of us started establishing Via Grafik as a design studio. Right now Via Grafik consists of: André Nossek (mnwrks/slave), Robert Schwartz (n6), Tim Bollinger (g13), Leo Volland, Till Heim (sign) and Lars Herzig. The range of clients extends from small family business to internationally well known corporations.

During the past 10 years Via Grafik had the chance to take part in diverse exhibitions and conventions giving lectures and workshops all across europe. Many books got published featuring our works. The release of a small monography by Pyramid Edition from France in 2006 was a great experience as well.
