Giliane Cachin
(*1990) graduated from ECAL with a BA in graphic design in 2014. Subsequently she worked at NORM in Zurich, next to serving as an assistant tutor for Graphic Design at ECAL. In 2015 Giliane became a freelance contributor to Lineto and worked with Alphabet in Berlin.
She won a Swiss Design Award for her diploma project, a geography atlas highlighting extreme points in Switzerland. The prize allowed her to live in New York for six months and pursue a self-initiated research project about everyday objects and materials collected in the city.
From 2017 to 2019 Giliane worked for Studio Cornel Windlin and for Lineto in Zurich, where she contributed to the design of the new Lineto website. Her research on the history of Bobst Graphic, a pioneering company in the field of phototypesetting, resulted in a book publication in 2019. She is now an independent graphic designer based in Zurich. One of her current projects is the redrawing of LL Simple (2000), which she started in close collaboration with NORM in 2015. It is scheduled for a future release as part of the Lineto 1.0 project.
Giliane has also been working closely with Dr. Tan Wälchli and Cornel Windlin on an extensive publication project tracing the history of Haas Unica, mapping its evolution from the beginnings of Neue Haas Grotesk in the 1950s up to the creation of LL Unica77 VIP. The publication, consisting of a substantial book and a website, is planned for 2024.
