About
Crafting experiences that drive change
Tellart is a pioneering design studio founded in 2000. We design transformative experiences for major international events such as the World Expo, Olympic Games, COP climate conference, World Economic Forum and World Government Summit, along with public spaces, brand spaces, educational spaces, products and services.
We work with our clients to invent new forms of communication that can reach all the senses. Our goal is to turn audiences into active participants who feel the optimism and agency to shape a sustainable and positive future for all living things.

As a design studio we invent and make. Our work spans that of an agency (shaping ideas and strategy) but also a production house (realising these ideas at the highest level of ambition and craft). We are able to define why an experience should exist in the world, what it must communicate and how it will take form.
First-class innovators
We have a 25-year history of creating projects that are first of their kind. Because we are in the business of invention, we expect to face the unexpected. We work closely with our clients as a single team, adapting creatively to meet the needs of the project as they emerge. We always set out with a clear plan, confident in our ability to face any obstacle, together. This is our nature — and the nature of our work.
Pioneering new forms of communication
Tellart means the art of telling. All of our work is in service of inspiring positive change by reaching people in new ways.
Our work aims to shift in the way people think and act by telling the stories that matter most to our collective future. We get to the heart of each story and translate it into forms that people will internalise and remember. Our approach combines future foresight, strategic storytelling, design craft and emerging technology to continually pioneer new forms of communication.
In service of better futures
As designers and storytellers, we work at the intersection of culture, nature and technology.
We care deeply about creating work that brings people together by building understanding and common ground. Our design philosophy is life centric—not just in service of humans, but of all living things. Our goal is to create empathy between people, nature and even machines.

Our Culture
Tellart undertakes its own research projects to discover the future of design as a practice.
As technology becomes more complex and opaque, how will we as designers understand its potential, do hands-on work, translate it into forms people can understand and use, and lead meaningful conversations with manufacturers and policymakers about its downstream implications?
