Our story
We started as two friends sharing a desk above a print shop, and we still believe the best design is made close to the material. Today the studio has six people, a long table and a shelf of paper samples nobody is allowed to throw out.
We work with galleries, food producers, small software companies and a surprising number of dentists. What they share is a founder who cares about details and a willingness to try one idea that scares them a little.
