The studio was founded as W.A.F. by Malte Müller and Andreas Lexa in 2011. It has since evolved into a design firm that has completed visual identities and websites for diverse international clients such as Artek, ADAY, Andreas Murkudis, MyTheresa, Kiko Kostadinov, Next Conference, Deutsche Telekom and Maharishi. As the digital arm of ACRONYM®, WAF GMBH provides visual design and technological direction to the brand.

Currently, WAF GMBH is developing collateral for Rick Owens' Berlin exhibition and a companion application to Telekom Electronic Beats. Apart from that, the team helps reposition a denim label by thinking about connections and limitations on a globalized planet.
