Studio Bergini Limited

What Studio Bergini Limited does

Studio Bergini Limited is a privately held London-based graphic design practice operating from Hackney Wick, founded in 2015 by Francesco Corsini and Kristian Hjorth Berge following their graduation from Central Saint Martins. The studio delivers bespoke visual identities, publication design, exhibition graphics, art direction, custom typeface design, packaging, and websites for an enterprise client base concentrated in UK cultural institutions and art/design schools — including Tate, Lisson Gallery, Estorick Collection, Charles Dickens Museum, Camden Art Centre, Central Saint Martins, Royal College of Art, London Centre for Book Arts, and Nuart Festival.

The studio's core product surface is professional services rather than software or platforms. Its proprietary technology consists of a small library of custom typefaces (SB Spartan, SB Gayton, Grotesqini, Granite Headline) built on historical references, used both for client projects and as standalone assets. Operational tooling centers on traditional print-production workflows (risograph, silkscreen, offset), bespoke hand-applied finishes, and content-driven typography, with website and portfolio delivered through studiobergini.eu.

Studio Bergini generates revenue through commissioned project fees scoped per engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by scope across visual identity, publication, exhibition, typeface, packaging, and art-direction work. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct relationships, inbound from an award-recognised portfolio, and editorial features in design publications. The firm has no external funding, no disclosed investors, and operates at a headcount of 1–10 employees.
