PutGootink is a graphic design studio founded and formed by René Put and Brigitte Gootink. Their work spans a wide variety of projects, including the design of books, catalogues, posters, stamps, identities, and exhibitions. Having a strong editorial approach, they are often involved with projects at an early stage, using their design process to reflect on the content and context of their subject matter. This visual research is essential to them for developing an outspoken design that is marked by distinct and inventive reproduction techniques.
PutGootink has been commissioned by a range of non-profit organisations, cultural institutions, museums, and publishers, and has designed for a great number of photographers, artists, and architects.

Under the name of Collect Editions, René Put and Brigitte Gootink independently produce and publish exclusive artist editions. For every edition, an artist is invited to develop new work, considering the outcome in close collaboration with Put and Gootink. With mutual respect for each others motives and discipline, they reflect on concept, contents, research, material, shape, design, and production. Each time a unique appearence is created, distinct from the previous, allowing Collect Editions to investigate and redefine the medium of an artist edition, both in content and form. In due course the editions will comprise a collected body of work, proposing a triggering dialogue between subjects and form as a whole.
