AREA 17

In 2003, two creative technologists - George Eid and the late co-founder Arnaud Mercier - set out to build an agency worthy of a 30-year retrospective, one where every choice would stand the test of time. What began as a design and engineering studio in New York has evolved into a global brand, experience, and technology company with studios in Paris and New York, helping the world's most influential organizations realize their boldest visions.

Over two decades, AREA 17 has grown from pioneering timeless digital design to partnering with leaders across AI and technology, fashion and luxury, finance, healthcare, arts and culture, and beyond. Their client roster reads like a who's who of transformative organizations: OpenAI, Saint Laurent, the International Energy Agency, The New York Times, Fondation Cartier, Pentagram, and dozens more. Rather than chasing trends, AREA 17 has built its reputation on principles over pixels - creating brands and digital products designed to endure. Today, the company continues its mission to co-create a more open, resilient, and optimistic world through the intersection of strategic consulting, rigorous craft, and cutting-edge technology.
