since '98

Atelier Müesli

Atelier Müesli defines itself as a graphic concept and typographic creation design house and was founded in by Mytil Ducomet and Léa Chapon.

They started collaborating while still studying and have grown since, to produce original and carefully crafted projects together.

10year Design Bash released!

To celebrate 10 years publishing online we wanted a party. A BIG WEB party!!! Since we couldn’t pack a worlwide audience in one place, we decided to do an online bash and invited designers, artists and illustrators to submit 1? button (badge) and 4×6 postcards to be part of an upcoming Feed your Eyes vintage collection.

384 entries were received from all corners of the world and they make quite a statement on the diversity and the unique creativity of all who participated.

After much deliberations, the 10year Design Bash selections are ready for viewing.

Probably one of the best portfolios discovered this year!
