Studio Claus Due

Studio
Studio Claus Due is a Copenhagen based graphic design studio working with art and culture. We strongly believe in conceptual thinking and original ideas to design bespoke solutions for every assignment, regardless of the actual project scale. A constant dialogue with our clients is as essential to us as the physical act of designing.

Studio Claus Due was founded in 2002 under the name Designbolaget (2002-16) and has been recognized with numerous international awards.
