Internal Project

XXXI (‘Thirty-One’) is ❶ a mixed-use community space for designers (and others) to exhibit, teach, and discuss self-initiated work; ❷ a shared studio space; ❸ a residency for designers; and ❹ an online (and sometimes physical) store.

At the moment we are in between spaces as we ride out the epidemic but still remain active online.

We’ve had exhibitions by Playlab Inc., Wade Jeffree, Reto Moser, Grilli Type, Rachael Yeager, among others.



We also had a show of really bad work by everyone that works in the space.

XXXI hosts a designer in residency program where we host people who want to work on a self-initiated project for a 1-2 week stay in our front window. Past residents include: Reto Moser, Kiosk Kollektiv, Noel Leu, and Julia Schäfer.


The program is part of @telier, a project that explores modern working methods. If you’d like to participate apply here → at-elier.org.
