Philippe Desarzens
After graduating from ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne in 2000, Philippe Desarzens worked for Das Magazin at Tages Anzeiger in Zurich (2000–2002), while also setting up his own studio. Collaborating with Elektrosmog, Philippe became involved in the development of LL Le Corbusier Oldface (2004). With Optimo in 2005, he released his typeface Editor, an homage to Hermes’s last successful typewriter, the portable model Media. Back at Elektrosmog, he collaborated with Marco Walser on the additional cuts of LL Brauer, which were released in 2006.
Since 2006, Philippe has been teaching at Zurich-based F+F art school, and since 2007, at Fachklasse Grafik in Lucerne. In 2013, he launched the publication series Side Issues, each volume showcasing a work by an individual artist or designer.
