Designspotter Creative Media Agency’s Post

Looking for the Right Space to Create Design Gezund is on the hunt for a new home. We’re wandering the streets of the city we know and love, searching for the perfect space a place where we can bring our vision to life, a space to truly make our own. The search for the perfect studio space is often more challenging than it seems. It’s not just about finding four walls and a roof; it’s about finding a place that supports creativity rather than stifling it. The technical aspects are tricky enough square meters that fit your vision, a bathroom that’s functional yet pleasant. But the real challenge lies in the intangible qualities. Will this space fuel inspiration or block your creative flow? What style will it have? How will we balance industrial elements with a cozy atmosphere? Will all my plans and dreams find a place within its walls? Light, for example, is so critical. Yet predicting how natural light will behave throughout the day or across seasons is nearly impossible during a brief visit. The same goes for noise, what seems peaceful for an hour could turn into a distraction during others. Choosing a studio isn’t just about practicality. It’s about intuition, imagining what it could become and trusting it will help you create your best work. To those who’ve found that perfect balance, I admire you. And to those still searching, may the right space find you! So, here we are on this journey, dreaming of designing it, but still unable to fully envision it... ** This AI-generated image is inspired by our recent conversation, reflecting the vision we discussed - the prompt was simply "generate an image based on our last conversation" ;)

“We believe that people are most creative when they feel satisfied, understood and valued.” – 1zu33 Architectural Brand Identity As a studio for architectural brand communication, 1zu33 not only translates corporate values into spaces – it also creates places of encounter where brands can be experienced holistically. For the creative team around the founder Hendrik Müller, the focus is on a structured and targeted creative process: “For us, quality is the common thread that guides us from the concept idea to implementation.” Whether for retail spaces, showrooms, events or trade-fair stands, strong storytelling paired with a keen sense for (sustainable) materials, colours, shapes, lighting and the existing architecture all combine at 1zu33 to create experiential sensory spaces. The agency was founded in 2009 and has been awarded with 7 distinctions in the Red Dot Award. Here are some of the awarded projects: 🏠 During the Salone del Mobile Milano, Gaggenau presented itself in the imposing Villa Necchi: the architecture from the 1930s was combined with an abstract spatial installation to create an impressive composition. A sensory journey that corresponds to the values and characteristics of the brand. 🛋️ Wilkhahn, an old-established producer of office furniture in Germany, wanted to increase its appeal to architects and designers by showcasing its products effectively in a brochure. Therefore, the concept for a virtual workplace and context-oriented storytelling was created by means of a fictional Danish publisher located in Copenhagen’s district Nordhavn. Based on Human Centricity, the spatial and interior design is influenced by its surroundings in terms of content and aesthetics. 🍵 The launch of the new Melitta Group Single Portions “Avoury. The Tea” brand in 2019 also required an administrative area and a showroom connected to the production facilities. The aim of the concept was to connect these areas, to appeal to B2B visitors and to strengthen the employees’ identification with the brand. The building was given a clear architectural exterior with a facade that provides insights into the manufacturing process inside. Congratulations to the 1zu33 project team members: Hendrik Müller, Christian Sedlmaier, Michaela Zehnter, georg thiersch, Felix Stadie, Jana Thiemann, Eva Eberlein, Vianney Lebrun and Kirsten Döpper.

I ask my students always to consider how their projects feel at ground-level. The fabric of a city is the stitching together of the spaces we design plus the spaces adjacent which means we influence them either by design or by default, so why not do it by design?

What do IKEA and LEGO have in common? 🤔 Both are absolute pros at modular design—turning adaptable furniture and tiny building blocks into global icons. In the latest DZ article, I touch on: ✅How IKEA and LEGO keep innovating. ✅Why modular design is the great for sustainability. ✅How other industries are taking notes. If you’re a designer, innovator, or just love putting things together (and sometimes taking them apart), give it a read! 🔗 Check out the full article at designzindagi.com/articles PS. What’s the best (or worst) modular design you’ve come across? Let’s talk about it! 😄

I’ve always believed that good design isn’t just about today it’s about creating a space that will stand the test of time. At Archispace, our goal is to design environments that look incredible and maintain their functionality and appeal for years to come. Here are three ways we ensure lasting quality in our projects: 1. Selecting Durable, High-Quality Materials: From high-traffic areas to places with unique conditions, we choose materials that can handle the wear and tear of everyday use. This isn’t just a choice, it’s an investment in the space’s longevity. 2. Timeless Design Elements: Trends come and go, but a timeless design remains relevant. We focus on elements that won’t feel outdated a few years down the road, creating spaces that continue to impress without constant updates. 3. Building with Flexibility in Mind: Needs change over time, so we design layouts that can adapt as requirements evolve. A versatile layout means clients get a space that grows with them, whether it’s an office, a retail store, or a hospitality venue. Our commitment to lasting quality means clients can enjoy their spaces worry-free, knowing they’re built to withstand the future. What’s one design element you think never goes out of style? Let’s connect and discuss how to create a timeless, enduring space for your vision.

76% of people say modern buildings feel soulless. We’re surrounded by buildings every day and yet most of them fail to connect with us on a human level Interior design plays a role in this. When you step into a space that’s thoughtfully designed, you feel it—whether it's a cafe with a welcoming atmosphere, a school that fosters creativity or an office that actually makes you want to show up every day. Good design isn’t just about looking nice; it’s about shaping how people interact with their environments, how they feel and even how they perform. Design has the power to make spaces feel alive, connected and human. Whether we’re talking about reducing stress, encouraging collaboration or simply making someone feel seen in a space, it’s about creating environments that don’t just serve a purpose—they have a soul. I’m a big fan of the Humanise.org Campaign by Heatherwick Studio, which calls out the spread of these boring, lifeless structures and reminds us that design is about people, not just function. Let’s stop settling for bland and start designing with people in mind. Design isn’t just visual—it’s emotional. Image: Shenzhen Women and Children's Centre.

How can design shape a better future? Imagine a world where every design decision begins with empathy and curiosity, where understanding human needs drives innovation. Our Co-CEO, Louise Vang Jensen, shares insights in Monocle's latest article, "Design DNA: How Denmark Won," exploring the transformative journey of Danish design. From iconic mid-century classics to today's visionary studios, Danish design is not just about aesthetics—it's about creating solutions that resonate deeply with people's lives. It's ingrained in our public institutions, celebrated in our companies like Novo Nordisk, and woven into the fabric of our welfare system, nurturing creativity and resilience. "Design doesn't start with a great idea for a thing; it starts with empathy and being curious, being aware of not knowing." - Louise Vang Jensen In a world facing the urgent challenge of climate change, we must rethink our designs to be more than just functional or stylish. They must be sustainable, innovative, and valuable for the future. As Signe Byrdal Terenziani, CEO of Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign emphasizes: “I would love designers to challenge the way we live. Be open to what scares us, because that’s how we learn and move on instead of just talking about, ‘We have this new couch in this new colour’.” Let's harness the power of design to reimagine our future. By asking the right questions and embracing deep human understanding, we can create solutions that not only meet today's needs but also pave the way for a more sustainable tomorrow.
