TYPO Speaker

His early years as a designer were seminally influenced by his close friendship with the constructivist artist Richard Paul Lohse and the graphic designer Josef Müller-Brockmann. This has led to Müllerʼs long-standing preference for straightforward, functional design. Since 1996, Müller has been a partner of »Integral Concept«, an interdisciplinary design group active in Paris, Milan, Zürich, Berlin, and Montreal. In »Integral« Lars Müller designs visual identities for NGOs and institutions focused on cultural, social, and ecological concerns, as well as acting as a consultant in communication. In 1983 Müller started publishing books on typography, design, art, photography, and architecture and, as Lars Müller Publishers, has so far produced some 400 titles. Recently, he has branched out into visually oriented books on social issues, such as human rights and ecology. Many books are initiated and published by Müller himself and most of them have been designed in his own studio. A passionate educator, Lars Müller has taught at various universities in Switzerland and elsewhere in Europe. In his lectures he calls for a political consciousness and a sense of social responsibility among designers. He has been a guest lecturer at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design since 2009.
