Studio Topo — Posters with wit

Some people see a word. Antoine already sees a poster.

A graphic designer and art director based in Lyon, he created Studio Topo to bring to life the ideas that pop into his head. Puns, playful references, little everyday sayings, and sometimes simply an image that tells a story.

His style shifts between humor, poetry, and minimalism. A line, a few colors, a well-chosen typeface: sometimes, that’s all it takes to create a poster that catches the eye and brings a smile.

With Studio Topo, wall art doesn’t just decorate a room. It tells a story, expresses a personality, and sometimes becomes the starting point for a conversation. A lovely way to rediscover French decorative posters beyond the same old reproductions.

And honestly, it’s still more fun than a photo of stacked pebbles.

At Studio Topo, there’s no endless production line or posters printed by the thousands on the other side of the world.

It all happens in Antoine’s workshop, in the heart of Lyon’s 7th arrondissement.

He comes up with his designs, draws them, prints them himself on thick, textured paper, then carefully prepares every order. The posters are made to order, avoiding excessive stock.

When it’s time to ship them, Antoine walks or cycles to the post office. A small-scale operation where every step stays in the creator’s hands.

This approach also comes with an environmental commitment: Studio Topo donates 1% of its revenue to initiatives that protect the planet. A philosophy that echoes our commitments at Kiplé : supporting independent creators, craftsmanship, and thoughtfully made objects.

Witty posters, made in France, with an especially short supply chain. After all, you don’t have to travel around the world to find a great decorating idea.
