cyan. work 1990–2025
The graphic design studio cyan was founded in (East) Berlin in the early 1990s by Daniela Haufe and Detlef Fiedler. With a wide range of corporate identity designs, posters, books, magazines, and websites for cultural institutions, the studio quickly developed a unique design language, attracting the attention and praise of many international graphic design experts. Over the past 35 years, they have won numerous international and national graphic design awards, and their work has been promoted and published worldwide.
The exhibition, “cyan. work 1990—2025,” is the most comprehensive presentation of their work since the studio was founded.
A 784-page monograph on cyan, designed by cyan and published by hesign, will be presented for the first time at the opening ceremony.

“The rise of cyan—founded by Daniela Haufe and Detlef Fiedler—happens to lead a new wave in the evolution of the visual revolution.” — Jianping He
“Daniela Haufe and Detlef Fiedler are not service providers or contractors in the conventional sense, but in addition to their role as exceptionally talented graphic designers, they are artistic and intellectual partners who familiarise themselves extensively with the subject and discuss their designs intensively with the clients.” — Eugen Blume
“Their typographical work, often approaching the limits of legibility, is orientated not to the word, but rather to the text as graphic material.” — Prof. Günter Karl Bose
