Stolaze: Independent Art Direction, Typography & Visual Identity

Stolaze is an independent creative studio founded in 2022 by Amaury Eckern, dedicated to crafting meaningful design systems through the lens of experimental craftsmanship. Based in Lige, Belgium, the studio operates at the boundary of graphic design and storytelling, utilizing a hybrid practice that blends digital tools with hands-on technical research. The studio’s expertise spans creative direction, visual identities, and technical embroidery, with a specialized focus on the contemporary cultural and nightlife sectors. Each commission is approached as a tailor-made collaboration, adapting the creative process to the specific narrative needs of the project. Significant works include comprehensive identities for KulturA.Extra-Muros, JCC.Consulting, and Unframed, alongside a robust portfolio of logotypes and artistic artifacts. Rooted in a deep appreciation for typography, the studio also releases custom tools for circulation, such as the typeface JANE.Display. Amaury Eckern’s background—combining a Bachelor in Visual Communication from ESA Saint-Luc Lige with a foundation in applied arts—informs a visual language that balances technical expertise with artistic exploration. Whether through commissioned branding or independent research, Stolaze aims to create integrated visual experiences that resonate across cultural contexts.
