Interactive and mixed media. Analogue and digital. Accessible and emotional. Educational and fun. Narrative and immersive. We create the fitting format for our clients, whether brand, institution or museum. We make complex ideas meaningful by creating spatial communication for exhibitions, brand centres, pop-ups, trade fairs, virtual spaces, exhibits and more.

Founded in 2000, we now work with a small core team of concept developers, designers, engineers and project managers in our studio and production facilities in Cologne – with a large multidisciplinary network of designers, architects, concept developers, consultants, site managers, logistics specialists, scenographers, graphic designers, content managers and project managers.

We are driven by the desire to bring brands, products, services and visions to life.

SIMPLE. Inspire with Experience.

We use many techniques of agile working and design thinking in our project work. In all our projects, we use the Double Diamond, a working model of the British Design Council, as a basis. It divides the design process into four phases: Discover (understand the problem), Define (clarify the problem), Develop (generate ideas) and Implement (realise the solution).

The Discover and Develop phases allow for broad thinking to consider different options and perspectives, while the Define and Implement phases focus on selecting and refining the best options. The Double Diamond helps us and our clients and partners to think flexibly and iteratively and to structure the design process effectively to develop innovative and user-centred solutions.

Experiential spaces are created by asking the right questions at the beginning. Together with our clients, we identify the core of the narrative. We develop a motif that can be broken down into a few words and drives the story forward.

The design reinforces the message, carries the narrative and creates atmosphere. Situations and states of space are created. With images, sounds, objects, light, volume, acoustics and also smell. Fortunately, in scenography there are many ways to create an experiential space – we use them all. In our own workshops we can test the functionality and effectiveness of our ideas, from small prototypes to life-size mock-ups.

This is how we use our ideas to make spaces talk and images enter people’s minds. With an intelligent interior and a form that touches emotionally
