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.

Graduation exhibition of the Master 2 in Design and the Politics of the Multiple, École de Recherche Graphique - ERG

The INFRA·FLUX diploma exhibition brings together twelve Master's students in Design and the Politics of the Multiple around a collective scenography. Through a range of practices and questioning, tactics of deconstruction, infiltration and investigation are established, leading to new readings of reality. By blurring the boundaries between archives, documentary resources and subjectivity, sensitive and personal relationships or collective fictions, these artists, designers, photographers and video-makers reveal a set of imaginary worlds and interstices to be explored and transformed.

Students: Amandine Alonso, Aurélie Defez, Élodie Goldberg Jacquemain, Gaëlle Mwamba, Laurent Mbaah, Leïla Bousquet, Marion Lissarrague, MP Alba, Olivia Marly, Théo Girault, Théo Hennequin, Zeste Le Reste
