The studio was founded in 2012 after several years of collaboration within and outside of our studies at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. The basis for this was – and still is – the principle of a dialogue: design as the result of an exchange between ourselves and with the various participants.

We are a small office of five people and depending on the task at hand, we are joined by colleagues from various disciplines, with whom we collaborate on projects. We always take a holistic approach to our work: From the first preliminary discussions about the assignments, the consultation, the tendering, the graphic design to the supervision of the final production and documentation. We value direct contact and communication with all parties involved. For us, the key to precision and depth lies in this principle of dialogue - the exchange of ideas, motivations and directions that projects can take. The work is characterised by the idea of working together rather than working 'for' someone.

Since 2017, we have had a studio in Berlin and Leipzig with a structure designed for decentralised digital work, where the studio can grow and shrink at the project level. We try to create a working environment where we can work with many people just as quickly and effectively as with a few. We always see ourselves as mediators between different disciplines. Both studios are deliberately located in a larger alliance with other designers and studios.

Our work has been latestly awarded at the International Poster Festival, Chaumont and with the most beautiful swiss books. We have also been awarded with 100 beste Plakate several times. In 2008 we have been awarded with Schönste deutsche Bücher and in 2010 with the Walter-Tiemann-Price. In 2014 we have been shortlisted at the Walter-Tiemann-Price. In 2018 we received the The Award of the Mayor of the City of Brno for a graphic artist of the Brno Biennale.

In addition to our studio work, we have taught at various universities, mostly on a semester basis.
