The appearance of the homepage of the theatre Vereinigte Bühnen Bozen appears every couple of weeks in new color and animation, in line with the current play. Beyond this colorful opening, the website offers all important information about the plays, their performers and staff. In addition, there are programs, news and administrative information. Like the identity of the Vereinigte Bühnen Bozen, the website is kept reduced in black and white, with generous typography.

Frauke Rubarth is a project manager in cultural education, a director & a game designer for participatory theatrical formats. Together with Frauke, we developed the idea of an oracle to give the website added value to a mere portfolio. The home page is turned into a game interface with a large exploding push! button. The button then activates a random script and a personalized oracle message appears. The whole website is characterized by this game aesthetic in terms of design and content.

Artist and protest sign influencer Chris Campe asked us to redesign and rethink her web portfolio.
Our idea was to put the spotlight on „Chris Campe, the artist“, with a clearer organisation of the different areas and activities and an increase in visibility. Also: The Chris Campe world should look cool, with a focus on typography. We are more than happy with the result, the details in the fonts and all the great work of Chris that now gets more visibility and space.

Visual identity and web design for Lisa Marie Zander. We developed a dynamic portfolio website showcasing her multifaceted work in design, architecture, city development, research and teaching. The site is a list-based catalog of Lisa’s many projects and it is accompanied by alternating neon yellow backgrounds, merging the worlds of tables in a unique visual language. Someone said it looked like „Suhrkamp 70er Jahre ironisch“.

Visual identity and web design for micimo. The IT company specializes in the continuous and sustainable development of software projects. Its 3 core themes are represented by animated infographics. All graphic ornaments and animation elements on the website are made from logo elements. The website’s unique feature is its desaturated ‚foresty‘ colours, which set it apart from classic IT companies. The aim of the self-coded website was to create a lightweight, simple and dynamic website.

THIS IS A WARMING – 366 adjectives and 52 postcards for 2024

With our new calendar design 2024 will be full of adjectives, neon colours and loudly warming (or loudly warning?) designs. For the ninth edition of the KLASS calendar, we created a monthly calendar in which every single day of the year is accompanied by an adjective and each month consists of four postcards that are typo-graphically designed around these words. The printing was realised by the Hamburg printing company Reset St. Pauli (thank you for the great cooperation!).
Multi purpose >> for the wall to hang up or for the table to put up, to tear off and reuse, for neon fans and for postcard lovers.

The star element of the website, around which everything dances, is the staircase menu. On the website of choreographer, dancer and dance educator Nora Elberfeld, it takes up a constant amount of white space and creates a pleasant break. Together with the elegant strong typeface we designed a bright and joyful color palette that adds identity to the individual content and pages of the website.

For the Vereinigte Bühnen Bozen and its new artistic direction, we developed redesign. The core concept behind the new appearance is a typographic, welcoming gesture into the theater „KOMM INS THEATER!“. The design is nearly entirely typographic, which highlights the emphasis on language and spoken theater. It is bold, wild, and friendly with a strong cultural connection.

Using a flexible, moving Logo that takes inspiration from the rows of seats in a traditional amphitheater, Vereinigte Bühnen Bozen always takes up the space it needs on the different product formats.

Spoken Dance is a research project on artistic audio description in contemporary dance. Audio description in dance is the verbal description of movements, bodies, situations and everything that happens on stage.

The website we designed for this purpose is technically and stylistically created for people with visual disabilities or impairments. The focus here is on optimal machine readability. As a special feature the colours of the website can be inverted, which can be an advantage for certain visual impairments.
The font used, Atkinson hyperlegible, was also created for visually impaired people: The letters and numbers can be easily recognised and distinguished from each other. The light pink background colour is a minimal colour accent in the otherwise absolutely user-optimised, typographic website.

60 years of company history collected in a retrospective book. The book outlines the story of the company since 1962 and that of its employees, but also facts about inventions or a short outlook into the future. The design of the book is very individual. It is divided into 8 chapters, for each we have developed an own customised design concept. A range of print finishes make the book a pleasant, tactile object.

For more than 60 years, the Schöck company has been developing components that are used in architecture in the most diverse ways, technology that stands in the background. The publication „Poesie & Technik“ (Poetry & Technology) now shows contemporary architecture in the context of the components developed by Schöck.
The book design lives from the concept of the title: hand drawings meet technical construction plans and illustrations. The chapters are each introduced by a match of drawing vs. plan, positive vs. negative combined with separator pages in a shorter page format.

The Old Town Coast revives and blossoms! The interdisciplinary initiative „Altstadtküste“ (Old Town Coast) focuses on Hamburg’s historic old town centre, its special conditions and challenges as well as its hidden potentials with regard to a liveable, green and socially just city.
For the Altstadtküstenfest 2021, we developed a shimmering visual that is reminiscent of water and islands; surfaces overlap and are recombined for different media such as programme posters or programme flyers. In 2022, the colour in the visual grows out of itself. (In cooperation with Franziska Opel)

Over a period of two years, a group of Hamburg architects and urban planners explored the topic „wideness“ in the city and collected places in Hamburg where one can experience wideness as a complementary element to urban density and the feeling of narrowness. The „Atlas der Weite“ collects these places and analyses them according to certain criteria.
It is conceived and designed as a loose collection of sheets in a linen-covered folder that can be expanded with new „Weite“ places at any time. The oversized A2 landscape format and the large-format photographs make the places experienceable and make the turning of the pages into a physical act. The atlas currently exists only once as a high-quality exhibition copy, but it is also available digitally. (Photography: Martin Kunze)
