Little green & blue & purple & pink & orange & yellow & beige & grey & red Stad & Esch bags

For the open day, we created these cool fashionable put cotton bags. To carry as a tote or over your shoulder. It will also carry a 15″ laptop. In our aim to create something that lasts, we designed it to be distinct, not as another logo carrier. We thought it would be cool to connect readmore

Happykampers

Guest lecturing at CEDIM, Centro de Estudios Superiores de Diseno de Monterrey, Mexico

Get to know Stad&Esch

Choosing for a school is hard enough as it is when you’re 12. Making that easier we can not, that’s something personal. But for Stad&Esch we decided to be at least be really clear what we stand for and inform you well. So we filmed students on different subjects, to get their opinion readmore

Get rid of business cards

The good thing of a business card is it gives you all practical information from a person who you just met, related to his job. Handy and concise. What you learn about that person is largely depending on the talent of that company to find a readmore

An more agile approach to learning helps in better understanding what is being learned. Agile is a term introduced in 2001 and is now mostly used in software development. Like readmore

Do Disclose Agreement®

All crucial innovation projects are stealth: they are there, but you don’t see them. However, they will affect you when they’re done. Most of these trajectories are carefully protected behind agreements, the so called ‘Non Disclosure Agreements’ where all parties involved solemnly swear not to share anything involved with the project. And that way, a readmore
