Three 4 Euro - studio341.de

We are young but we are the

Right choice to design the new Euro!

Three For One

Studio341 is a young, independent design studio creating work that is both contemporary and conceptually bold.
Three designers – illustration, typography & print, and visual systems – combine their strengths to develop holistic design at the highest level. Three for one. Our visual language is always content-driven: precise, relevant, and proven across formats. Though recently founded, we’ve already realized a diverse range of successful projects, from cultural initiatives to digital platforms.

European in Thought, Practice, and Design

To us, Europe is more than geography – it is a cultural project we actively support. Our backgrounds are shaped by Eastern European roots, long-term stays in various EU countries, and a mindset defined by openness and dialogue. Especially in challenging times, we want to strengthen the European idea – through design that connects.

Why We Should Be Part of This Competition

We believe our perspective would enrich the design process of the new Euro – with fresh ideas, conceptual depth, and a strong visual sensibility. Our heads are full of ways to rethink the Euro’s design: bold, meaningful, and unmistakably European. This project is a matter of the heart – a chance to grow beyond ourselves, creatively and collectively.

Julian Carus

Julian transforms complex themes into striking, stylistically precise illustrations. His visual language is adaptable and always concept-driven. As Lette Design Award winner (2020), he has worked with clients such as Haushahn. For the Euro redesign, Julian brings the ability to visualize abstract values – trust, unity, change – in accessible and memorable ways.

Samira Schneider

Samira combines typographic precision with deep expertise in high-end print. She recently worked on a series of art books – including projects for TASCHEN – and masters the dialogue between form, material, and message. Her skills make her the link between digital concept and tactile execution – crucial in a project where both dimensions matter.

Karl Taro Potrafki

Karl designs visual systems that are structurally sound, content-driven, and adaptable across media. With experience in web design and brand identity, he ensures consistency from screen to print. For the Euro, he brings the ability to translate the European spirit into a design system in which all Europeans can see themselves reflected.

We combine our skillsets to create the highest quality of design.

Dalí. The Chronology

One of Samira’s tasks was to accurately place chronologically structured texts, captions, and images into the predefined layout.

She developed a keen sense for page structure and visual balance. This project further strengthened her skills in editorial typesetting.

Haushahn offices

Julian designed and painted the walls of the Haushahn offices with the goal to breathe life into the work environment and translate the company’s goals and inner workings into visual narratives that flow and intertwine with people’s movement through this space.

This project was integral for him in learning to process complex ideas into a clear shape language that is playful yet keeps brand values in mind.

Georg Baselitz

Samira executed layout and typesetting tasks based on given specifications, which included unconventional grids and image scales.
The work required high concentration and accuracy when adjusting text and visuals.
It helped her build routine in handling non-linear layout structures.
