Fessen + Friends

Located at Gärtnerplatz in Munich, Fessen+Friends is a design studio founded in 1999 that combines web design with corporate design and print work. The studio is run by Gerald Fessen, its founder and owner, with a small team of one to ten people. Its client projects span sectors such as legal (Dross & Schaffer), event venues (Almeida Palais), research (SPP 2267 and diGAP) and retail (Lola Extensions), suggesting a customer base of institutions and businesses seeking a coordinated visual identity across digital and printed formats. The agency's declared services cover search engine optimization, e-commerce development, logo design, print design and web design, and its site describes web projects built to be accessible, manageable through a content management system, and prepared for SEO and social media from the outset. It is an official Contao Premium Partner and a supporter of the Contao Association, indicating that its web development work is built on the Contao CMS. Print output ranges from business cards to posters, with stated attention to cost and environmental impact. Corporate design work covers colour, typography and imagery, including logo development, aimed at establishing a consistent first impression across a client's materials. The studio states that its design concepts are developed by its team rather than generated automatically, using AI selectively as a tool rather than as the source of creative concepts.
