Based in Madrid and Paris, Lacasta Design is a graphic design studio working in all fields of visual communication.
We carry out graphic, spatial and exhibition identity projects, as well as editorial design, art direction and online communication for cultural institutions and companies. From large museums to small galleries. From independents to large publishing groups.
We believe that good design is born out of combining passion with reflection, classicism with contemporaneity, and intelligence with personal commitment. That is why we face each project in an unique way, in search of harmonious and appropriate solutions, providing experience, elegance and measure to achieve practical and beautiful design.
Over the last few years we have directed and hosted conferences, workshops and courses, with a special focus on editorial design and museography. Our work has been recognized with awards such as the D&AD Awards, the Laus Awards, the European Design Awards and the Fedrigoni Top Awards.
