Every idea begins as nonsense. We just don’t stop there.
Printed by hand in Basel since 2020.



Started as an experiment. Still is, just bigger.
NONSENSE started in 2020 in a Basel bedroom. One person, one screen, a squeegee and no plan.
Today it is four things. A clothing line, a screenprinting studio, a design studio, and the events we print at.
What you can hold us to
Handmade
Pulled by hand, one colour at a time.
No Bullshit
A price, a date and a proof before we print.
Community
We print at other people’s events as often as our own.
Chaos
The odd request is usually the one we take.
The humans behind the chaos

Want something printed or designed?
A print job, a design project, or a question about whether we are the right studio for it. All three are fine.
