Recent commissions include store environments for M&S, exhibition design for the Science Museum, books for the Gagosian Gallery, wayfinding for Vitra, and campaigns for Kvadrat and the Frieze Art Fair. We believe that a successful project is rooted in a de*p understanding of its objectives and we take great care to listen to our clients, often forging long-term relationships. Although our approach has been cited as original and unconventional, our underlying principles are clarity, simplicity and a belief that functional need and emotional response We enjoy exploring the physical possibilities of design, which has naturally extended our work into product, exhibition and environmental design.
