Xantium
Xantium is an international quantitative investment firm with offices in London, New York and Salt Lake City. Our work for the firm has been to reimagine their overall brand design and web presence.
The entire project began by embracing the existing corporate identity which we admired hugely and felt was a bridge to a new way of thinking about Xantium. To build out the branding, we deconstructed the identity and ‘visually exploded’ it, inspired by the code and mathematical theory that the firm works with every day. We then created a series of gentle, pulsating animations of this graphic concept that creates a way of guiding the user throughout the new website.
In addition we worked with photographer Philip Vile to rethink the way Xantium presents its team, creating a library of imagery to bring its outstanding people to the heart of everything we’ve done.
In recognition of the quality of its design, the Xantium website project has been shortlisted for the Creativepool Annual 2026.

“We commissioned Richard Chapman Studio to redesign our website with a brief to align it with the dynamic nature of Xantium and its people, while retaining the core elements of our identity and presenting them in a more energetic way. Alongside the design objectives, we also had a number of specific technical requirements.
“The RCS team responded very thoughtfully to our brief and proactively drove the project forward, developing a design system that reflects our brand and gives the site a much more modern and engaging feel. This was carefully crafted through a new photography direction and custom animations. Our technical teams worked closely together throughout the process to deliver a build that meets our needs.
“Richard and his team managed the project from beginning to end with real professionalism and care. Our team at Xantium is very pleased with the result.”
