Office statement

We approach the web as a form of digital architecture: It shapes the defining communal spaces of our time. Building these spaces requires deep understanding and balanced regard of platform strategy, visual design, content, engineering and systems architecture.

In close collaboration with our clients, we are able to organize and integrate these disciplines. This leads us to simple, honest solutions that are true to their digital materials. Our websites communicate effectively and can be used without effort, following the natural flow of the web. We operate in a highly organized way, on budget and on time. In this sense, WAF GMBH proposes a more effective model for designing and implementing digital platforms.

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, Art Basel, Die Zeit, Vitra, Kiko Kostadinov, Deutsche Telekom and Maharishi. As the digital arm of ACRONYM®, WAF GMBH provides visual design and technological direction to the brand.
