Wayfinding
We design wayfinding and orientation systems. A good sense of orientation is a basic need and a key factor for our well-being. With wayfinding systems, we shape how we move through a space, how we navigate it, and how we experience it to the fullest. Wayfinding and orientation systems reinforce the identity of a place, create positive experiences, and empower people to move freely.
Brands
We design brand identities. Excellent visual representation and clear communication make it possible to convey key messages and themes effectively. This creates a unique, authentic identity that unfolds its full impact in every dimension. Well-crafted information design is also an essential component of a comprehensive corporate design.
Digital Products
We design digital applications, such as dynamic wayfinding systems or user interfaces for spatial displays. Functional, well thought-out, and focused on the essentials, these products are always part of comprehensive corporate design programs or spatial identities.

Knowledge for all
At a glance
Pictograms convey information visually. In 1925, Otto Neurath and his team developed the ISOTYPE visual language to communicate economic and social relationships in an understandable way. The recently published book offers the first comprehensive overview in German – historically grounded and with an eye to current relevance. It provides a comprehensive overview of rediscovery, key projects and international developments. Sibylle Schlaich, partner at Moniteurs, contributes an article on gender-neutral pictograms. We are delighted with this informative book!
