Super Terrain is a graphic design collective founded in 2014, run by Quentin Bodin, Luc de Fouquet and Lucas Meyer. They are based in Nantes and Marseille.
Super Terrain work on posters, visual identities, books, website, scenography and signage. They produce work which is always sympathetic to context, taking into account both physical form and intended use. This busy French studio brings together many disciplines, partnering regularly with photographers, writers, printers, web developers and makers. Working with these diverse skills, they offer clients a careful blend of savoir-faire to build a shared vision and a trust-based relationship.
Their production process often takes inspiration from practical design skills. For example, involving classic printing techniques, innovative lighting rigs and larger installations. But the ST collective is equally at home in the digital realm, producing video and interactive works which carry over some of their obvious love of ‘real’ hands-on creative expression.
Alongside their commercial work, Super Terrain continue to build an artistic practice. Through creative residencies and self-initiated editorial projects, they develop works which explore the nature of the artist-designer’s tools, of images and their reproducibility. These experiments refine and extend the studio’s graphic design practice in the realm of storytelling.
