In 1971 he opened a design office in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg and, together with his wife Ruth Gassner, set up a studio from 1987 in the immediate vicinity of his place of residence, the Ruhwiesen estate in Schlins.
In addition to commissioned work, Reinhard Gassner dealt with font development and font cultures in different epochs and countries. In the 1990s he investigated typographic phenomena in free design series using the word “text” as an example .

In 2018 his daughter Andrea Gassner took over the studio and relocated it to the city center of Feldkirch.
