Context

Universal Edition, based in Vienna, publishes the work of composers from Mahler and Schoenberg to contemporary names. Its storefront serves musicians, orchestras and libraries worldwide, and its catalogue is deep and structured in ways a generic shop can’t express.

What we did

  • Led the full redesign of the global storefront.
  • Modernised the user experience for a catalogue where a single work can exist as a score, parts, a study edition and a rental.
  • Optimised performance and rebuilt search so musicians can find a work by composer, instrumentation or title in any of several languages.

“Combines strong passion for design and wide technical know-how.” — Andreas Bintinger, Head of Music & Rights, Universal Edition
