Laurenz Brunner
After an apprenticeship in Switzerland and an internship in London, Laurenz Brunner (*1980) worked for Tate Modern under the art director James Goggin (2002/03). While studying at Central Saint Martins, he drew LL Akkurat, which was published in 2004. In the same year, Laurenz started to collaborate with Cornel Windlin on TATE ETC. magazine, and he moved to Amsterdam to finish his BA studies at Gerrit Rietveld Academie (2005).
Since 2006, Laurenz has been teaching at Rietveld. In 2007, he debuted LL Bradford (released in 2018) when re-designing Dutch art serial Casco Issues with Julia Born. Early versions of LL Circular (published in 2013) were tested in 2008–10 on his publications for the ‘Most Beautiful Swiss Books’ competition. Based in Amsterdam, and later in Berlin, Laurenz created identities for Paris-based book fair Offprint (2010), the Arnhem Mode Biennale (2011, with Julia Born), and for Gavin Brown Enterprise, New York (2011, with Geoff Han).
From 2015 to 2017, Laurenz worked for documenta 14 and its governing body (with Julia Born). A year later, he moved his studio to Zurich, where he launched Source Type, an office for typographic research. Since 2019, he has been responsible for the identity of Schauspielhaus Zurich.
