Brussels Design Duo Bravas Graphix Creates Vibrant Rave-Inspired Posters

Bravas Graphix is a Brussels-based graphic design studio founded by Paul Peyrolle and Jules Rousselet. The duo, originally from the village of Sommières, derives its name from a local dialect term meaning 'brave' or 'kind,' which also refers to untamed bulls in Languedocian slang, reflecting their blend of softness and edge. Their logo features a bouquet of dynamite sticks. Influenced by the 'bloghouse' music genre and identifying as 'fluokids' in their youth, they began producing fanzines and tote bags as teenagers. Their work balances academic composition rules with spontaneous, playful elements, often characterized by vibrant colors, punk aesthetics, and explosive visuals. They emphasize analog techniques like cutting, pasting, acetone transfers, photocopying, and scanning to counter digital automation trends. Their posters incorporate bootleg icons such as the 'pissing Calvin,' archival imagery, coffee stains, and kitschy gradients, evoking rave culture's remix and anti-corporate ethos. Clients seek their distinctive style, though they aim to prioritize project highlights over self-promotion. Their portfolio includes designs for events like the London Marathon and projects such as 'Memphis In New York' and 'Paris Freestyle Mixtape,' with works dated from 2024 to 2026. The studio maintains an online presence and social media profiles for its founders.
