Studio Story Split

Auralis team reviewing printed layouts across a long studio table
The making room, late on a press day
(Inside Auralis)

A studio shaped by the work it keeps.

We are a small bench of designers, writers, and editors who would rather finish ten things well than start a hundred. Every brief that leaves the room has been argued over, set in type by hand, and pressure-tested until the quiet decisions hold up as loudly as the bold ones.

About this block

Studio Story SplitPRO

Image-led about split with a tall portrait, an offset statement heading, supporting copy, mono studio facts, and a seal CTA.

About63: Studio Story Split

Image-led about section split into a tall portrait photo with a caption on one side and an eyebrow badge, offset statement heading, supporting copy, a mono-style facts list, and a pill CTA on the other. Built for studio or agency "about" pages that want a quiet, editorial split rather than a stat-heavy hero.

Base UI flavor

bash
npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/about63?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/about63.tsx, the badge7 component it uses for the eyebrow badge, the button12 component it uses for the CTA pill, and its dependencies.

Quick start

The installed file exports about63Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working section in one line.

tsx
import { About63, about63Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/about63";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return <About63 {...about63Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, the same setup looks like this:

tsx
import { About63 } from "@/components/beste/block/about63";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <About63
      labels={{ caption: "The studio floor, midweek" }}
      badge={{ label: "Inside the studio" }}
      heading="A team shaped by the work it <strong>keeps</strong>."
      description="We would rather finish a handful of projects well than start a hundred."
      button={{ label: "Read our principles", href: "https://beste.co" }}
      image={{
        src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1521737604893-d14cc237f11d?w=1200&h=1500&fit=crop",
        alt: "Team reviewing printed layouts across a studio table",
      }}
      facts={[
        { label: "Founded", value: "2016" },
        { label: "Bench", value: "Six hands, one editor" },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

  • The heading's <strong> segments render in text-muted-foreground, not the primary color, keeping the emphasis quiet rather than loud.
  • facts renders as a <dl> with a top border on the list and a bottom border on every row, so entries read as a divided ledger rather than cards; label sits left, value sits right and bold.
  • The image caption (labels.caption) sits below the photo as plain muted text, not overlaid on the image.
  • The CTA button is Button12: on hover its label slides out the bottom while a duplicate copy drops in from the top, and its trailing seal icon (defaults to ArrowUpRight) exits and re-enters the same way.
  • Layout is a plain md:grid-cols-2 split; the image column never becomes sticky, so on tall pages it scrolls out of view with the text.
