“Interior Renovation” Workshop

The Thought

In 2009, the Berlin start-up niiu approached David Marx and me about helping them sharpen their customer profile. Niiu had set out to create bespoke newspaper content, beautifully printed and delivered to your doorstep.

The Shape

When David and I visited niuu in their offices, we were struck by the contrast between their aspirations for their product to be high-value, beautiful and bespoke and their rather bleak offices. So on the day of the workshop, without warning them, we turned up with all the tools and gear necessary for painting and rennovating their offices. Only when we felt, their offices were transformed and represented their values, we went on to defining their customer profiles.

“Building Talks” Workshop

The Thought

When part of Beta Tank, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design AHO approached us because a group of architecture students was travelling to Berlin and they wondered if we could create an experience for them. Something that was related to their upcoming master degree brief to create a piece of architecture for the AHO-building that would enhance communication in the building in Oslo.

The Shape

We designed a workshop called “Building Talks” and got them to experience a building and the communication within a building with their own bodies and in a tangible way. What do people who work in a building every day actually see from each other? What would they even want to communicate? How could better communication be inspired?
