(About) — Lylix Studio
A small studio with a long memory.
(01) — Story
We started Lylix in a borrowed room above a print shop in Santos, with one client, one table and a risograph we couldn’t really afford.
Fourteen years later the room is ours, the risograph still jams on Thursdays, and the client from the first week still sends us a card every Christmas. In between we have designed more than 120 identities, websites and printed things for people who make good work slowly.
We are deliberately small. Every project is led by Mara and shaped by the whole team around one table. We still print every presentation, still review colour in daylight, and still believe the best brands are the ones that know what to leave out.
(02) — Values
01
Say less.
Every element has to earn its place. If removing something changes nothing, it goes — and we tell you why.
02
Make it last.
We design for the fifth year, not the launch week. Trends are welcome, as long as they age gracefully.
03
Work in daylight.
Decisions are made on paper, under a window, with the people who will live with them every day.
04
Stay small.
Four people, around eight projects a year. Small enough that the founder still answers your email.
