Hafen Senn Stieger at TYPO Berlin 2013 © G. KassnerTypical for their design work is that they depart from the content, and then identify formal ingredients and their relations, in order to finally “capture” the content.
They talked about various posters and signage they produced for Museums as well as books, the most important and exciting one being the story of Gallus & Pretoria. True to the title of their rather scientific talk ‘From the Inside to the Outside’, they talked about the conception of three books they have published: typography, layout and colours. While the delivery was “matter of fact”, there was no question as to how passionate these guys are about their work.
