What is the task of design?

To make things happen.

How does design change life?

Design makes us laugh, it attracts us, it connects us.

When does design reach its limits?

Good design pushes limits.

Must design create something new?

Nothing is ever entirely new. Forms of today are heritages from languages and aesthetics of the past.

Collaborating with other designers and witness other ways of thinking and working is the best way to learn. Some inspirations for us are: Laurie Anderson, Josephine Foster, Julia Born, Kate Tempest, Scout Niblett, Mica Levi, Kathleen Hanna, Claudia Comte, Irma Boom, Cat Power, Beyonce, Kimya Dawson, Rihanna – Who run the world?
