About
We create brands and shape the identity of products, services, institutions and companies.
We do what we believe in: as shapers of our environment and crafters of your message, we challenge conventions to create space for innovation, transformation, identification and solutions.
We create the small and the big, the distinctive and the systematic, with typography and color, with images, pixels, technology, knowledge, experience and intuition.
We communicate, in the interest of the matter, with all means of art, technology, and passion.
We design the digital space, the physical world, and everything in between.
We still believe in the good future—since 2007.
Christof Nardin (Creative Director, Founder) focuses on cultural and urban landscapes, driven by a passion for innovation and transformation and fascinated by both, contemporary realities and historic beauty. He captures the urgency of the now while he creates a forward-looking perspective. He is a collector and minimalist by nature, he is deeply engaged with design, branding, and the power of visual communication.
Together with his studio, CN has collaborated with corporations such as Swietelsky, Neuwaldegg, and Vienna Insurance Group; renowned architectural firms including Behnisch, feld72, and Coop Himmelb(l)au; and esteemed institutions like MAK, Wien Museum, MUMOK, TU Wien, the Austrian National Library, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Venice Biennale, and the Design Campus (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden), among many others.
Bueronardin hosts a small team of generalists and a wide network of creative professionals, founded in 2007. CN served as Art Director at Forbes (2017–2021) and Vienna Design Week (2011–2024), and held positions as Visiting Professor at New Design University (2018/19) and Universität der Künste Berlin (2015).
Christof Nardin is a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) and is part of the board of 100 Beste Plakate e.V. His work has received numerous national and international awards.
