Studio Abricot is a multidisciplinary design studio in the field of visual and spatial communication design.
Founded by Luxembourgish designer Rachel Hoffmann, Studio Abricot’s design practice is based on an analytical and conceptual approach.
Informed by research and shaped through experimentation and contextualization, the studio develops multimedia solutions ranging from corporate identities, posters, books and web design, to installations, spatial experiments, scenography, and experimental film.
Studio Abricot blurs the line between art and design. By transforming research into reality, it uses the language of design to craft contemporary visual narratives in both two- and three-dimensional space. The studio embraces an experimental methodology while keeping conceptual design at the heart of every project.
