ABOUT

Vincent Sauvaire is a Swiss–French designer and ÉCAL Alum — specialising in type design — currently working as a Senior Designer at Base Design in Geneva. With a strategy-first mindset and a sharp eye for detail, his approach embraces complexity and delivers with clarity and purpose. Design becomes concrete when form, function, and feeling align — shaped by precision, built to last.
