Circlar

Circlar


Circlar is a graphic design studio specializing in visual identity applied to the web and publishing. Co-founded in 2024 by Laurent Mbaah and Théo Hennequin, this creative space based in Brussels is at the intersection of theoretical and graphic research projects. Mainly active in the cultural field, we are interested in projects with social and committed dynamics.


Laurent Mbaah (Simlo) is a multidisciplinary artist, graphic and digital designer. His work is described by a maximalist research inspired by Afrofuturism and Internet cultures, combined with a precise approach of visual narration. Within Circlar he instills his curiosity of shapes and his creativity to propose singular graphic systems, while putting into practice an advanced mastery of digital tools and web development.

Théo Hennequin is a graphic designer inspired by Swiss graphic design as well as contemporary and experimental movements, experimenting with typographic compositions and layering. In doing so, he has developed a singular aesthetic and theoretical repertoire. He also works on research projects based on the world of football and supporterism, focusing on the off-field aspect and the underbelly of the sport. Learn more

Visual identity for MAC, an association organising musical and cultural events in Chaumont.

Musique Action Chaumont logo

Musique Action Chaumont is an association that organises musical and cultural events in the local area around Chaumont.

The Musique Action Chaumont logo is rooted in the locality, in this case Chaumont, by using the Dina Chaumont typeface, specially designed for the town's visual identity.

The dynamism, corresponding to the concepts of music and action, is reflected in the different weights used within the same word (from extra light to black).

The black and white color scheme connotes the behind-the-scenes work of concert technicians.
