Strategy meets design. In interdisciplinary teams, we design brands, places and objects - online, offline and in-between.

atelier 522 is at home between Bangkok and Boston, Berlin and Barcelona. We work on the future on the Gehrenberg and in Zurich. Since 2005.
Who we are
Around 70 creative minds from the fields of architecture, interior design, product, communication and digital design as well as science, philosophy and strategy work at atelier 522. We are united by the conviction that design is never one-dimensional. That it begins where perspectives meet - and new things are created.

What connects us: Strategy meets design, architecture meets communication, brand meets space. Our disciplines flow into each other - not as a construction kit, but as a living network of ideas, experience and intuition. This results in projects that are holistically conceived and uniquely designed.
How we think and work
We are convinced that good design always starts with good thinking. Our projects grow from analysis, strategy and intuition - and become spatial, visual and communicative experiences as a team. We work in an interdisciplinary, experimental and precise way - in dialogue, not alone. This results in design that touches, remains and thinks ahead.
From vision to reality: our process that brings ideas to life.
Why we do what we do
We stand for design that makes the world a little more beautiful, smarter and more humane. We believe in ideas that make a difference because they make sense. And in the interplay of strategy and emotion - as a motor for change and progress.
Step by step towards a sustainable future.
We believe that change is possible - through every single step. Whether large or small, we are constantly working to minimise our ecological footprint and to design our processes responsibly. For us, sustainability is a path that we follow with conviction and foresight.
