Théo Hennequin

Théo Hennequin is a Brussels-based graphic designer and visual artist with a conceptually driven practice spanning culture, music and sport. He collaborates with institutions, artists, festivals and collectives, from major museums to independent structures, to articulate distinctive positions across print, digital and motion.

His practice is rooted in the circulation of images and forms between swiss rigour, experimental layering and popular cultures, from the football stand to the mountain trail, using the distance between them as a space for inquiry.

About

Sierre-Zinal

2023

Font: Helvetica (Max Miedinger)

Sierre–Zinal is a visual identity designed for the legendary Swiss trail race linking Sierre to Zinal, famous for its alpine panoramas and the ‘five 4,000-metre peaks’ visible from the route.

The design plays on the conventions of Swiss typography and geometric structure to create a metaphor for the mountain itself. The bold lines form a triangle, a shape emblematic of the mountainous landscape, and the title ‘Sierre–Zinal’ is arranged in an upward then downward trajectory, evoking the effort involved in the trail run: the ascent to the Hotel Weisshorn followed by the descent to Zinal. The colour gradient ranging from purple to red symbolises the runner’s progress through the night until sunrise over the peaks.
