Bare-bones design straight out of Barcelona

Barcelona-based graphic designer and art director Noelia Felip runs her design studio No.9 with a scrupulous attention to detail. Working mostly with cultural institutions and small companies, the studio has art directed pared-back books with full bleed spreads, one example of which takes its cues from horticulture and natural history. Other work includes neat corporate identities for clothing stores, and branding led by minimal, monochrome editorial design. Whatever the project, the design is always clean and clear.

A white poster pinned to a grey wall reads “Open Air” at the top and “Festival” at the bottom. A large circular cutout in the centre reveals the wall behind it.
