This is interview with Alex Trochut by From Fifty Five.
Alex Trochut is an independent designer and illustrator — although, don’t ask him to choose one over the other — in Barcelona, Spain who unknowingly had design in his genes. The grandson of, Joan Trochut, a printer/typographer — whose legacy is the development of a typographic system in 1942 called Super-Veloz [more on this later] — Alex is a graduate of Barcelona’s ELISAVA Escola Superior de Disseny, and his education is enriched by an Erasmus in Berlin, where he also did internships — yes, plural — with Moniteurs and Xplicit. His first job after school was back at Barcelona with Toormix, a design firm established in 2000, and after two years there he moved to Vasava, another young design firm, formed in 1997. (I bring up the dates because the work of both firms looks as if they had been in business for the past 25 years, showcasing a fresh maturity of a profession still making its impact felt in Barcelona.) The exuberance of Vasava’s work proved to be the perfect place for Alex to explore, refine and deploy his typographic prowess to then take his show on the road as an illustrative contractor delivering unique and unexpected work.
