Dystopian, futuristic cities (existing or not) in the style of VHS tapes, video games and retro nostalgia. Memories of a past that didn’t happen and visions of a future that may never come. Design reminiscent of the nineties stretched between the sterility of the Inter font and the font Renault designed in 1978 referring to cars from posters.

Info
Hochkirch is an artisanal cider brand by Upper Left Studio and K. Trzópek, named after a German town meaning "High Church." The brand celebrates friendship and shared moments, crafting its beverages from local Polish apples and elderflowers hand-picked along Wrocław's Odra River. The visual identity features GT Alpina with playfully italicized letters, while the label combines Neue Haas Unica and Minion fonts. Hand-drawn illustrations and a flash-lit elderflower photograph add organic elements to the clean typography. Breaking from Poland's traditional beer-bottle packaging, Hochkirch comes in hand-numbered sparkling wine bottles. This naturally cloudy, vegan dry cider strikes a balance between sophistication and freshness, perfect for summer gatherings with friends.

At Upper Left, we believe design has the power to shape behaviors, influence decisions, and ultimately, impact lives. This is why we're deliberate about who we work with and how we work.
Our Core Beliefs
We prioritize human-centered solutions over trends, guided by data rather than assumptions. Our intersectional design approach considers diverse identities, abilities, and backgrounds. Through conscious design choices, we focus on sustainability and social responsibility.
The Partners We Seek
We collaborate with clients who value evidence-based design and put users first. We seek partners ranging from environmental advocates to artists and creatives to small businesses making a positive impact. We believe meaningful solutions require time, research, and authentic commitment to change.
Clear Boundaries
We decline projects harmful to people, animals, or the planet, including environmental degradation and those profiting from fear or pseudoscience. We don't engage in misleading marketing or copied work. These boundaries ensure our design serves the greater good while maintaining integrity.
