Studiobotas are Boštjan Botas Kenda and Primož Fijavž. The communication and graphic design activities of studiobotas focus on the letter as a visual sign, the book as a group of visual facts, and the city as a system of identities. The studio specialises in graphic design of public spaces, editorial graphic design, corporate identity, exhibition design and organising and monitoring workshops. Studiobotas has designed the corporate identity for some of the leading Slovene companies and studios, including ELES, the world-renowned Hiša Franko, Bar Maček (Ljubljana), Trimo, Arcadia, SADAR + VUGA Architects and Scapelab.
Produced by the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, studiobotas and Studio AKKA presented Slovenia at the 12th International Architecture Biennial in Venice with the All Shades of Green project. The playground built with elements of landscape design interacted with the urban space in front of the A+A Gallery, Venice.
