Founded in Montreal in spring of 2008, Baillat Cardell & fils is a design firm with multiple
facets, be they symmetrical, organic or extravagant, and with unlimited content, be it
printed or digital, static or dynamic, minute or unhinged.
This broad taste for design is driven by Jean-Sebastien Baillat and Guillaume Cardell, the
company’s co-founders. Together, they combine their desires for a sweeping, colorful,
original and striking design. Their strength consists in deploying their bottomless
creativity through many mediums. Amongst these, custom stationery and printed
promotional items, video animation for television or the big screen, visual installations
for shows or events, as well as interactive and web creations.
Their most cherished domain: culture. From their beginning, BC&F differentiate
themselves by associating with artists and cultural projects of high caliber. Of these,
Ariane Moffat, DJ Sasha, Circle du Soleil, Place des Arts, the director Denis Villeneuve,
the choreographer Benoît Lachambre, the photographers Leda & St-Jacques, the
illustrator Lino and many others.
The studio has collaborated in the realisation of diverse projects such as the Beatles bar
in Las Vegas, the 2008 VJ tour of Sasha & John Digweed, the scenography and video
content of Ariane Moffat’s show, video boards of Montreal’s Place des Arts Hall, and as
also been giving the opportunity to showcase video performances notably in Paris, New-
York, Mexico and Geneva.
Even though its vision is borderless, Baillat Cardell & fils remains, as indicated by its
name, a business that puts emphasis on family values. Their artisans’ approach is always
one of proximity, simplicity and conviviality. No matter the magnitude of the task, the
mandates are always completed with the same enthusiasm, authenticity and originality.
Simply put, without taking themselves too seriously, Baillat Cardell & fils are serious
about their work.
And that’s that.
