This time we were pleased to open our lab doors for the Deutsche Welle Euromaxx film team. And where there is already so much design potential in the name, it is hard to resist a spontaneous logo staging. We would like to thank Serdar Vardar and his team for the exciting day and the great contribution!
At the beginning of February we had the opportunity to give the viewers of WDR Lokalzeit some insights into our laboratory and our work. We would like to thank Ina Reuter for the great report and the staff of WDR Düsseldorf for the hospitality on site from the make-up to the studio.

For our recent design workshop series at HSD we stayed at home and gained a new perspective on our immediate, familiar surroundings by listening to the acoustic properties of everyday objects, common handles and textures.

We have been supporting Mischfutterwerke Mannheim GmbH in all design matters since 2012. All the more reason for us to be pleased that our latest product staging assignment will help us to remember the Corona period as a masked ball in the cellar of our friends at grown videoagency. The whole film and further insights “Behind the Waltz” are available here.
