TIMELESS PORTOFINO

Design and concept for the photo book “Timeless Portofino” accompanying the international exhibition series by Peter Lindbergh introducing the new IWC ladies’ watches. I had the chance to work on this project from the first mood boards for the shooting until arranging the images for the individual exhibitions.

TIMELESS PORTOFINO LAUNCH BROCHURE

Creating the brochure for the launch of IWC’s first ladies’ watches since two decades was a very interesting task. I found a solution in the combination of product images and the campaign images by Peter Lindbergh in a very reduced layout on a natural paper.

ÉMOTIONS 2012

Émotions is the luxury brand of the tour operator Kuoni France. For the 2013 edition of their brochure I designed the cover and the intro pages. “Rêves de voyageur” – the traveller’s dreams are the concept of the brochure. Therefore I chose an image of german photographer Julia Christe for the cover. It shows a mass of colourful hot-air balloons in the surreal surrounding of monochrome white sand dunes. On the editorial spread these balloons are isolated as simplified illustrations.

KUONI TOP 50

In 2011 Kuoni Switzerland’s 50 top-selling travel agency managers were invited to an incentive weekend trip to Rostock in the eastern part of Germany. The journey was accompa-nied by a professional photographer and afterwards the task was to create a book as a souvenir for the participants. As I didn’t want to design a simple photo album I forged a cold-war spy story as a backdrop for the images.

UEFA TENDER PROPOSAL

Kuoni applied as the tour operator for the UEFA EURO 2016 champion-ships in France. With my colleague Joël Walser I worked on the tender proposal. The book was given to UEFA in a slipcase together with 2 financial annual reports.
