The Swiss interactive designer Gaël Hugo settled in Paris in 2005, where he founded "one more studio" a few years later. His design practice aims to reflect the blurry boundaries of visual communication in a digital age. Gaël Hugo likes to produce dedicated design solutions relayed by – in his own words – dubious self­-made tools to achieve unexpected visual experiences. This experimental and playful approach allowed him to work with musicians such as Gotan Project, Breakbot, and Philippe Cohen­-Solal, cultural institutions like Gaîté Lyrique, Van Gogh museum, or the Google Cultural Institute, as well as with artists and commercial brands like Chanel, Hermes, and Samsung to name but a few. Gaël Hugo also teaches at ECAL University of art and design in Lausanne. The man definitely has more than one trick up his sleeve.
