Base

About

One network. Five studios. A company of cultures. We turn cultural collisions into clarity — and clarity into brands that endure.
We thrive on difference. Each studio speaks with its own voice, built on a shared methodology. The conversation between them keeps us evolving; a network that learns from itself.
Every brand is a culture. We get to what makes it real, then give it form with honesty and personality. Less decoration, more meaning.
Markets shift. Technology moves fast. Culture keeps rewriting the rules. So we design brands as living systems: resilient, adaptive, built to remain iconic.
You work directly with the makers—strategists, designers, technologists. No middle layers. With Base Digital, our AI and tech team, we fuse invention and craft to keep brands sharp for what’s next.

Louis DessauxMotion DesignerGeneva

Louis’ path to motion design started with a spark: the bold posters of music events and the visual spectacle of films like The Day After Tomorrow (an apocalyptic blockbuster that captivated him not just with its storyline, but with its wild VFX). Raised between Lausanne and Geneva in a Swiss-Italian-American household, he grew up immersed in images and stories from different cultures. Early on, he was drawn to the power of visual communication: how it could make people feel, imagine, connect.

Graphic design gave Louis the structure to tell those stories. Motion gave them rhythm. Today at Base, he brings the two together – pairing structure with flow, meaning with movement. His work turns ideas into visual experiences that unfold in time, shaped by detail, depth, and energy. Outside of work, that rhythm continues. Louis co-runs a record store in Lausanne, curating sounds with the same care he gives to every keyframe. Whether in motion or music, he’s always chasing the next beat.
