Omid Nemalhabib is a graphic designer working at the intersection of type design, visual language, and multilingual typography. He draws on philosophy, visual culture, poetry, and practice-led artistic research to build multilayered narratives, shaped into typographic systems through an ongoing dialogue between analogue tools and digital experimentation. This cross-disciplinary approach spans identity, editorial, printed objects, web design, and motion. He co-founded Studio Melli, an independent practice born in Tehran and based in The Hague.
Liv—ing Room
2024
Liv—ing Room is a curated exhibition presented by AASSTTIINN at ALCOVA Milano, during Milan Design Week 2024. Held in the historic mezzanine of Villa Bagatti Valsecchi, a room framed by a triptych of doors, echoing the Persian architectural tradition of se dari, the show brought together six Iranian designers and studios: Studio Honarvar, Emrooz Studio, Amir Hesari, Kimia Kazemi, Solid Studio, and Zahdei. Rooted in themes of nature, materiality, and the act of living, the exhibition invited visitors into a space where carefully crafted objects speak of both fragility and resilience.
The visual identity and graphic system for the exhibition centres on the typographic treatment of the title Liv—ing Room, placing an em dash at the heart of the word, suspending it between concept and place. The system extended across print materials, publications, postcards, motion graphics, and digital content.
