⚡️⚡️⚡️Studio Mut Sounds × Fons Hickmann
@fons_hickmann_m23
Our love for experimentation, visual hubris and too much colour can be traced back to one person: our mentor, teacher and friend, the exceptional Fons Hickmann. It’s only fitting that, after exactly 5 months of publishing our «Colours» playlist, he sends us: BLACK. Should we stop turning the colour dial up to 11? Well played, Fons. Thank you!

Fons Hickmann
is one of the most acclaimed and admired graphic designers. He founded his studio, Fons Hickmann m23, in Kreuzberg, Berlin in 2001 and is a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts. Thinker, provocateur and football expert, he tells intense visual stories like no other, and he wins multiple design awards for virtually every project. Former M23’s interns and collaborators are around the world now, pushing boundaries of design because they learned from him (…did we mention that both Thomas and Martin are former collaborators of his studio?). Fons Hickmann is a member of the Type Directors Club New York and the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).
