Bourquin heads up the onlab graphic design agency that he founded in his native Switzerland in 2001. Leaders in infographics, Onlab explores ways to stage complex content and convey relevant topics while changing and playing with common perceptions.

The onlab team works on commissioned, collaborative as well as self-initiated projects. Nicolas works closely with art director Thibaud Thissot, who has been on board at onlab since 2007.

Some of the projects onlab has been involved with include the new visual identity of the city of Tramelan in Switzerland, the entire redesign of architecture magazine domus and the design and conception of the German contribution to the Architecture Biennale in Venice in September 2008.

Nicolas is also co-editor and designer of the best-selling books Los, Dos and Tres Logos and Data Flow 1 + 2 (all published by Gestalten), among others.

Nicolas himself says, “design is a narrative that can change how people approach the world.”
