Brousse & Ruddigkeit is a French-German design studio founded 2015 in Berlin.
Lea Brousse and Raban Ruddigkeit work as conceptors, graphic designers, and illustrators. Together they build a concept for corporate design which allows a brand to be more flexible, media-neutral, and – most of all – open. Their so-called code-design is based on thinking without logos, but with elements that are simple, recognisable, and very dynamic.
Lea Brousse and Raban Ruddigkeit work also as editors and designers for successful international publications like Typodarium, Photodarium (both with editor Lars Harmsen), Freistil – The Book of Illustrators and Berlin Design Digest (together with editor Robert Eysoldt). Brousse & Ruddigkeit’s Graphic Comments for the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel received the award “Illustration of the Year” by the Visual Lead Academy in 2016.
