Studio

Deckle is six people in a former print shop on Rua da Boavista. We make identities, websites and films for companies that would rather do one thing properly than ten things loudly.

(About)

A deckle is the frame a papermaker dips into the vat. It leaves the rough edge that tells you a sheet was made by hand. We like that edge.

The studio started in 2019 with two desks and a borrowed proofing press. It has grown to six people and stayed deliberately small: the person you meet on the first call is the person who draws your wordmark.

We work with founders and in-house teams across twelve countries, mostly on brands that are changing shape: a first identity, a second act, a move from market stall to shop shelf.

(Principles)

Four rules we have not broken yet.

01

One table

One table

Strategy, design and build sit together. Nobody is handed a deck and wished good luck.

02

Fewer, better

Fewer, better

Twelve projects a year, so each one gets a senior pair of hands from the first call to the last file.

03

Show the work

Show the work

You see the real thing every week, rough edges included. Surprises belong in the launch, not the invoice.

04

Leave it usable

Leave it usable

Every project ends with files, guidelines and a walkthrough your own team can run without us.
