NOFORM® — Lisbon / Berlin

A small studio
with loud
opinions.

Twelve people. Two cities. One wall of posters.

NOFORM was founded in Lisbon in 2016 by an art director and a type designer who were tired of brands that looked like everybody else. Today we’re twelve people across Lisbon and Berlin.

Three rules we break for nobody

One idea, ruthlessly.

One idea, ruthlessly.

If a brand needs a paragraph to explain itself, it needs a better idea. We cut until one thing remains — then we make it loud.

Craft is the strategy.

Craft is the strategy.

Typography, light, timing, paper stock. The details are where trust is earned, so we sweat every one of them in-house.

Brands live on screens, stages and streets now. We design systems that flex and animate without losing their spine.
