We work across a variety of disciplines, from art direction and spatial design to object design and events, meeting each project with the same intuitive and reflective approach. By working closely with our clients, we create layered designs that are truly a product of our collaboration. 

 

Working with us means tapping into Ella’s endless flow of visual references and inventive ideas, combined with Florian’s skill in transforming them into physical, functional, and playful spaces. Our collaborative approach is something we hold dear and we believe gives rise to the most creative and unconventional results.

Our Approach

We enjoy working with clients and brands who are open to exploring new and unexpected ideas. Through a combination of storytelling, literary research, visual and design exploration, and design principles, we create projects that are imaginative and a little rebellious.

Identiteit

We translate your brand identity into visual and spatial design, so that we can consistently implement your vision at every phase of your project.

Research

An important part of every project is the research phase. This is where Ella and Florian combine their expertise from their own discipline, discovering new perspectives and giving your idea a surprising twist.

Context

We love working on projects that are strongly connected to the context and the brand. Within these frameworks, we look for ways to develop a design that is fresh, stimulating and unexpected, without compromising on existing values.

Impact

Our projects surprise. Through the harmony between visual elements, tactile experiences and attention to detail, we create projects that stand out and invite to stay in.
