What is design but people
Lecture by StudioSpass
Institute of Design, Class of Graphic Design
Prof. Oliver Kartak
This lecture will be an introduction into the work and methods of the Rotterdam based
Studio Spass that works on a wide range of design and art projects. Being a small studio they really enjoy the diversity of
those challenges.
Growing up with 90's skateboard culture and living
in the ever evolving eclectic architectural environment of Rotterdam has shaped their playful view on interaction and (semi)
public space. Typography and spatial design has alway played a prominent role in their work. Most importantly they want their
works to be used and enjoyed by people. This can best be seen in some of the installations and exhibitions that will be highlighted
during the talk.
*Studio Spass is a Rotterdam-based design studio that works across print, branding, web and spatial
design projects. Founded by Jaron Korvinus and Daan Mens, the studio combines a rigorous, considered and intelligent approach
with a playful sensibility. They understand that powerful and effective design needs both original ideas and faultless execution,
and the team prides itself on its perfectionist eye for the little details as well as its innovative conceptual thinking.
