NBB Gallery
Mastering the art of rebellion


Case Study
Overview
NBB Gallery took one look at the art scene and decided to do the opposite
But that’s what good art is all about: taking risks and breaking with convention. Founded by Thomas Friedmann in 2019, the international contemporary art gallery showcases works by emerging artists and those entering the middle period of their career, and has quickly made a name for itself in the Berlin art scene.
Ripping up the rulebook is a good place to start for a design
Where many galleries tend toward the self-serious, NBB Gallery makes use of playful contemporary fonts, audacious jacket-patch visuals straight from the 1990s and tattoo-style logos to get its iconoclastic identity across to the world. Given that the gallery is based in Berlin, only two colours are necessary: black and white.



The NBB III show returned in 2022 with an even more captivating group show than ever before. What it took for this was clear. Another spin-off of unpredictable visuals.
