Solo › About

Barcelona, 2011

Solo was founded in October 2011 in Barcelona, with the firm intention of creating honest, intelligent and austere projects of design. For almost five years, we have been working believing that the best way to create good design was doing few things, dedicating ourselves to the essential, doing what we do best. In this way, we have developed projects in the field of editorial design and corporate identity for companies and organizations from around the world.

Madrid, October, 2013

El País Semanal marked a before and after in the history of Solo. A project with great public importance, which put us in the world of editorial design as a structure capable of responding to high caliber projects. The summer of 2013 in Madrid, is a turning point in this little story, and is the place where we always return for new and exciting projects.

Solo Today

Older but with the same aim to create projects that do not go unnoticed for the audience. We still have a lot of energy to keep believing that design can be austere, and remain effective. And we are still very excited everytime the phone rings with an idea for a new project. Solo is based in Madrid, Spain, where we still develop projects for clients and institutions we admire and respect, worldwide.

After five years, we have been honored with more than 25 awards in national and international design competitions. These awards are a fitting reward for customers who rely on our ideas, and our way of working. We are extremely happy to have on our shelves some Laus Awards, D&AD Awards and some other acknowledgments. Foremost among these, being the last to arrive, the Gold Laus and Art Directors Club of Europe Nomination to Skate Agora, the project developed for our very appreciated friends of Lateral Thinking.
