Afrouz Razavi Design Studio is a visual communication and creative studio founded in 2011. The studio develops projects in information design, graphic design, signage, and visual and territorial identities, with a particular focus on social design, public spaces, and ecology. Through visual systems, communication tools, and thoughtful experiences, the studio aims to make information more accessible, spaces more pleasant to live in, and interactions more human.

Our vision

We design solutions rooted in human and spatial realities. Each project is developed from concept to production with particular attention to its social, cultural, and ecological impact, through a sustainable and context-sensitive approach.

A collective and participatory spirit is at the core of our practice. We develop projects that support diverse communities, highlight the identity of places, and encourage dialogue between disciplines. Accessibility is a priority : we create inclusive and thoughtful systems designed to make design more accessible, improve living environments, and create experiences connected to contemporary social issues.

Through attentive and engaged design, our ambition is to contribute to a more sustainable, connected, and equitable world.

Our creations

Social design and community design

Through design and communication tools, we develop solutions tailored to the specific needs of territories, institutions, and social and environmental contexts. We design and lead participatory workshops, create collective murals, develop furniture and spatial interventions, and design educational tools that encourage exchange, collaboration, and collective engagement.

Wayfinding and public spaces

We design identity-driven and functional signage systems to guide, inform, and reveal the character of public spaces, institutions, and territories. Conceived as tools for transforming and improving places, our projects aim to strengthen legibility, user experience, and territorial identity. From research and analysis to final installation, we oversee the entire process. Through our network of workshops and collaborators, we develop prototypes and create durable, thoughtful solutions adapted to the most demanding contexts.

Scenography

We design immersive spatial experiences that combine storytelling, design, and spatial composition for exhibitions, museums, cultural events, and public spaces. Through scenography, graphic design, lighting, and editorial objects, we create thoughtful journeys that enrich the visitor experience. Each project is developed in dialogue with its architectural, cultural, and human context, with the aim of creating vibrant spaces capable of conveying stories, knowledge, and emotions.

Visual identity and information design

We develop visual identities as coherent and evolving systems capable of expressing a vision and structuring information. We also transform complex data into clear and impactful visuals through infographics and data visualizations.

Editorial design

We design books, fanzines, newspapers, and a wide range of editorial materials, with particular attention given to the design of the object itself in relation to its context.
