Thomas & Jurgen is a design studio based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, founded by Thomas Bevelander and Jurgen Wiegeraad in 2013.
Thomas & Jurgen explore, combine and create visual content in both commissioned and experimental design projects. Adopting the poetics of the analog while adapting to the possibilities of the digital, the studio’s approach has led to distinctive visual languages that fit the different storylines of both cultural and corporate clients. Crossing over from pages to databases, from publications to posters and from pixels to paint, T&J discover new territories while reinventing known areas.
T&J work across various media, technologies and materials, combining these into suitable yet inventive designs:
- Identities –
- Books –
- Magazines –
- Campaigns –
- Wayfinding –
- Websites –
- Applications –
- Posters –
- Murals –
- Album covers –
- Copyzines –
- Exhibitions –
- Icons –
- Skateboards –
- Illustrations
