Coppens Alberts is an Amsterdam-based design studio that focuses on editorial and graphic design for printed and digital media – books, identities, campaigns, websites.
The starting point for our designs is our fascination with the unique characteristics of each individual task. Each new project poses a new question that demands a novel answer. Our approach is critical and inquisitive, which leads to results that are a unique embodiment of the brief. Coppens Alberts was established by Christine Alberts (CH) and Patrick Coppens (NL).

One year Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam
After Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam extented the building in 2009, with more than just an extra theatre hall, part of the graphic design was in turn for a restyle. A clear set of principles forms the basis for the design. Direction over typography, photography and colour, and a perforation through the heart of the leparello, give the brochures every month a new face.
Commissioned by Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam, implemented since Januari 2010.

Piet Paris Fashion Illustrations
A dialogue between disciplines
A graphic and editorial book design for fashion illustrator Piet Paris. 115 illustrations printed on bright-white mc paper devided over 11 chapters. Sections of thin white pages seperate the chapters. The cover of the book and the title pages are printed with the graphic elements we designed, that by now have become the signature trademarks of the corporate identity of Studio Piet Paris. This book does not only give an overview of 20 years of illustration, but it is also a statement in the development of the office.
Piet Paris. Fashion Illustrations belongs to the selection of The Best Dutch Book Designs 2010.
Book, 160 pages, 23.5 x 33 cm, bound. Commissioned by d’Jonge Hond and Studio Piet Paris, 2010.
