Problem

Following the successful launch of the SNG plant in Duisburg, Germany, Greenlyte looked for a meaningful way to commemorate the milestone and spotlight the work behind the facility and their Liquid Solar technology. They approached us looking for a creative concept that could be gifted to partners and supporters as a tangible reminder of the achievement.
 

Solution

Working with the Greenlyte team, we developed the idea of transforming their project documentation into 20 limited-edition digital art prints. We shaped a visual direction that captured both the plant’s industrial character and the uniqueness of their technology, turning each one into considered, collectible pieces that offered a subtle tribute to the milestone

Problem
For 2025, Stage Two decided to continue using the visual identity we created for 2024. Its intentional ambiguity, however, led to different interpretations. Instead of replacing it, our challenge was to clarify the idea behind that ambiguity, which was rooted in exploring uncharted territories, while keeping the event visually fresh, engaging, and evolving.

Solution
We explored a new spatial expression of the Stage Two identity by bringing functional art onto the stage. Together with Berlin-based studio Balzer Balzer, we created bespoke seating that blended industrial structures with sculptural foam and reflected Stage Two’s colours and energy. The collaboration built on Balzer Balzer’s industrial aesthetic, first seen in their Wire Drum Chair for Kyiv’s club K41, and resulted in a dynamic, immersive stage environment that felt aligned with the evolving Stage Two narrative.

Problem
Air Carrier, a collaborative passion project built around a deadstock-material bag collection, started with a clear challenge: creating packaging that not only protected the pieces but also reflected the brand’s fashion-forward sensibility. The goal was simple: something functional and visually appealing.

Solution
With a focus on sustainability, we developed several packaging concepts that balanced aesthetics with utility. We explored structures, materials, and finishes that remained true to its low-waste philosophy, ultimately settling on the one that best communicated the collaboration’s design values.

Problem 

After supporting Greenlyte with the initial 3D renderings for their Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) plant in Duisburg, Germany, the team approached us to help translate those concepts into a tangible visual identity for their launch day. Our brief was to define the branding style for their exterior containers and accompanying tower. The challenge was to craft a look that felt clean, intentional, and visually striking without compromising the industrial integrity of the plant.

Solution

In close collaboration with the Greenlyte team, we explored several design directions across materials, finishes, and placement of visual elements. We ultimately decided on an industrial aesthetic that reflected the authentic character of the structural containers. Working iteratively, we refined the exterior designs to incorporate the correct logo information and identified the most suitable materials for installation. The process required careful balance and ongoing refinement, and we remained aligned throughout to deliver the strongest possible design for launch day, even adjusting elements on site such as the positioning of bolts and screws.

Problem

As part of our ongoing work with Greenlyte, the carbon-technology startup, we were asked to transform a 2D image of their current process into a clearer 3D rendering that accurately reflected the current specifications. The challenge lay in depicting the workflow precisely while still withholding enough detail to prevent competitors from replicating the process.

Solution

We created an entirely new illustration and proposed several stylistic directions. Upon selecting their preferred approach, we collaborated closely with Greenlyte’s technical team to refine the details. The final result was a set of four animations in the chosen illustrative style, ready for seamless website integration.

Problem 

Showcasing design furniture can be challenging. Traditional photoshoots are expensive, time-consuming, and inflexible. For HAY’s Palissade Collection, Design Bestseller and C/O were looking for a way to present products in an emotional, narrative-driven way – modern, inspiring, and closely aligned with customer needs.

Solution

The solution combined original 3D data, AI rendering, and hands-on creative direction. Together with Berlin-based studio Plurity, they produced over 50,000 visuals that merge product, mood, and context into a completely new visual language. Each image tells its own story, with editorial flair, atmosphere, and brand character. The AI doesn’t just provide data – it delivers results: ready-to-use brand assets, flexible, scalable, and efficiently produced, while keeping full creative control in the hands of the brand.

The project demonstrates how AI and design can come together to rethink brand storytelling – emotional, innovative, and forward-looking.

Problem

WAREHOUSE is an interactive installation by The Internet Shop. It consists of twenty identical boxes printed with the collective's logo. The design references the visual language of industrial warehousing while simultaneously recalling the serial aesthetics of Andy Warhol’s Brillo Boxes. The boxes are arranged in a pyramid structure. Inside are products from the archive of The Internet Shop. These are conceived as art giveaways. Exhibition visitors are invited to look inside and take the products, performing the role of warehouse workers.

Solution

The installation is designed to change over the course of its presentation, as audience participation alters both its form and contents. This gradual transformation is an intentional element of the work, addressing questions of circulation, value, and the transience of material culture.

Problem

Before The Circle, a space for personal practice and collaboration, was born, we identified two problems: 

1. A long queue of students waiting outside a library

2. A studio space which was only used occasionally for workshops and photoshoots.

Solution

Our solution came in the form of the simple notion of sharing space. We offered our studio in Aachen to a group of students from different disciplines, such as photography and product design. Under the name ‘The Circle’ the studio became a safe space, giving access to community, tools, and new ideas. Together, the students developed exhibitions and a short film festival, while fostering a creative community in the city.

Problem

A global event in 7 cities, all on the same day. Six months after the successful Jyuni White release in January 2017, C/O was hired to come up with a wide range of marketing and packaging solutions for the gloabl launch of the Asics 2nd limited capsul collection Asics Jyuni Black.

Solution

We came up a wide range of marketing and packaging solutions for the events, including the gift boxes for product samples, press cards and wrappings, a collection lookbook, invitation send outs, poster, a magazine-like journal and shopping bags. However, there are always additioanl challenges and this time there were 6 interactive custom-made POS modules that, after conception and manufacturing, had to be shipped to 7 cities around the globe. So, we researched and uncover the best solutions for shipping the modules on time without breaking the budget. Together with Another Slang we made things work. Photos were taken by Thomas Wiuf Schwartz

Problem

In 2017 Asics introduced their Tokyo inspired functional sportswear line Jyuni. Jyuni means twelve and it represents the movement of time and the constraints time brings. The idea behind the Jyuni concept is to empower individuals to break free from constraints. For the global Jyuni White launch we were asked to realize appealing and engaging blogger and influencer packages, which was a great inquiry, of course. BUT there’s always a hook. 
Ours was the timing... From first briefing call to final door to door delivery (around the globe!) we had 9 days left.

Solution

So we took the meaning of Jyuni literal and broke free from time’s constraints. First we came up with a beautiful concept, which turned out to involve parts from more than 9 individual suppliers. :/ But luckily we have a great network and managed to get everything manufactured and distributed to more than 80 individual influencers, as well as to digital media houses like Highsnobiety and Hypebeast, on time.

We loved the result and so did our client.

Problem
