About us
Atelier Rond Bleu is a cultural space specializing in eco-responsible risographic printing. Our aim is to promote local art, ecology and craftsmanship.
Our objectives
The first workshop in French-speaking Switzerland to offer a self-service service in risographic printing, we combine made-to-order services, participatory workshops and community initiatives to promote local art, ecology and artisan creation.
Our mission is to democratize this low-impact technique, while energizing neighborhood life through partnerships with local artists, cultural institutions and businesses.
Our added value
Atelier Rond Bleu masters risography, offering unique, high-quality prints with an artisanal touch distinct from conventional offset printing. Named Switzerland’s ambassadors in the field of risography.
We offer tailor-made customer service, with advice tailored to each project, from design to print completion.
Our commitment
Atelier rond bleu favors environmentally-friendly printing. Risography prints consume very little energy, and therefore produce fewer greenhouse gases. What’s more, our inks are rice bran-based. All our papers are FSC, Ecolabel or Cradle to Cradle Certified®.
