The Menu
The lookbook we have done for Stephan Schneiders Spring Summer 2010 collection has been released.
Music and Form
The ROBERT-SCHUMANN-HOCHSCHULE that is located in Düsseldorf is a internationally renowned conservatory with a long tradition. Its new appearance is supposed to reflect this fact. The textual component of the logo was set in the rythm of the first 10 beats of Robert Schumann’s Renish Symphony, in order to create a visible link to music. This piece of work was awarded with the red dot design award.
The newly designed website enables direct communication between the institution and its students, sponsors and music-enthusiasts.
Moments of Myths,
an expanded lookbook for
Stephan Schneider
This season Stephan Schneider presents an unusual lookbook in the package of a video cassette. The videocase contains, beneath the beautifully done lookbook, three posters, an AW09 six months calendar, and a leporello with a review of different videocover-themes.

Tact.
A new look for the musical avantgarde.
Roughly a thousand students at Robert Schumann Hochschule involve themselves with sounds, melodies, rhythm, timbres and sonic events in an array of ways. From training as orchestra musicians to the exploration and creation of new connections between music and media, this teaching institution with a classical background is also a place for future listening.
Three elements are combined in our design to create the overall look, aiming to communicate all the facets of this institute with his international reputation.
Stempel Garamond was chosen as a classic typeface that exudes confident elegance yet still manages to point towards tradition and quality in education. However, that tradition interacts with the present at first glance: The logo’s textual component is set to the rhythm of Schumann’s 3rd symphony in E flat major op. 97 („Rheinische“), it instantly links language to music.
As the third design element, the eponym’s signature conveys a very personal, exclusive moment of musical creation.
This combination creates a clear external presentation for the university that can employed for all departments and events.

A BROCHURE FOR AN UNUSUAL PROJECT DEVELOPER
AND ITS SPECIAL BUILDINGS
Innovation. This creed is key for Dusseldorf based project developer capricorn DEVELOPMENT. We supported the corporation that stemmed from the car manufacturing business right from their very first project, built in Dusseldorf’s Medienhafen. capricorn house – finished in 2005 and since rented out to E.ON AG in its entirety – impressed with innovative cladding technology that inspired us in employing designs akin to human skin in the renting brochure.
Currently we are engaging with new and exciting projects by capricorn DEVELOPMENT and are able to once again communicate eminent architectural and structural achievements.
We focussed on presenting the new buildings in a brochure whilst pointing out their distinctive features.
The coming years will see a further two ambitious office and business buildings in the southern part of Dusseldorf’s Medienhafen. MANUFAKTUR will combine industrial production, office spaces and parking in an optimal way. The other, CASA STUPENDA, a design by star architect Renzo Piano, is set to resemble a drifting iceberg and will feature an unusual concept for the use of the ground floor.
the connecting ampersand
The New York and Los Angeles based artist agency Beauty & Photo asked us to do a new corporate design. Based on that, the concept and design of a new website will follow.
We’re happy to show the resulting logotype today. The strong coolness of the type of the words is appeased by the ampersand which adds an emotional aspect.
Showing more soon …
A Museum Sign
We designed a new Logotype for Museum Morsbroich, a Museum for modern art, placed in an old château in Leverkusen. The type crossing diagonal can be used in different colors. It’s dimension is always defined by the format of the medium the logotype is used on.
The line refers to bends from heraldic signage and is combined with Frutigers Univers font. The logotype combines the historical aspects of the museums location in the old château with the role of the museum as the first museum in North Rhine-Westphaila showing modern art after the second world war.
