Wayfinding
We design wayfinding and orientation systems. A good sense of orientation is a basic need and a key factor for our well-being. With wayfinding systems, we shape how we move through a space, how we navigate it, and how we experience it to the fullest. Wayfinding and orientation systems reinforce the identity of a place, create positive experiences, and empower people to move freely.
Brands
We design brand identities. Excellent visual representation and clear communication make it possible to convey key messages and themes effectively. This creates a unique, authentic identity that unfolds its full impact in every dimension. Well-crafted information design is also an essential component of a comprehensive corporate design.
Digital Products
We design digital applications, such as dynamic wayfinding systems or user interfaces for spatial displays. Functional, well thought-out, and focused on the essentials, these products are always part of comprehensive corporate design programs or spatial identities.

Routes and routines
Workshop at the HBKSaar
In railway stations and their surroundings, spatial communication has a significant influence on people’s movement behaviour. Can familiar routes be broken up? How can we encourage people to rethink their behaviour and use public space in a fairer and more sustainable way? Prof Heike Nehl and Prof Sibylle Schlaich are addressing these questions with students during a workshop week at HBKSaar.

ÜSTRA Passenger information
Pilot project in Hanover
The Hanover region is one of twelve selected model regions in which new concepts for innovative and future-proof mobility are being developed, tested and found as part of a public transport “real-world laboratory“. Moniteurs optimised the routing at the Steintor station in the centre of Hanover and developed new concepts for dynamic passenger information. The results were recently evaluated in order to derive long-term measures. Project

The 5 is in sight!
We start the year 2025 with a curious look
5 per cent of the universe is known to us. 95 per cent is still being researched and is full of secrets. Scientific teams around the world are working on the question of whether dark matter is an essential component of this 95 per cent. Dark energy could be responsible for the fact that our universe is growing faster than expected. On our annual Christmas walk, we visited the planetarium in Berlin’s Treptower Park and gazed into the sky with fascination. It’s impressive what people have explored so far, so much that we still don’t know … we wish you a happy and insightful New Year!

Our book
Airport Wayfinding
The motivation of Heike Nehl and Sibylle Schlaich is and remains to decipher the identity of the world’s airports and to trace the development and changes to the wayfinding systems installed there over the decades. Their book Airport Wayfinding is enjoying great interest. Now available in its 2nd edition, with updated photos and texts. Published by niggli Verlag. Book
