The municipal theater of Gießen faced a transformative challenge: how to reflect its bold new artistic direction while connecting deeply with the city it serves. With a new artistic team in 2022, the theater sought to reimagine its identity as a dynamic space for curiosity, dialogue, and shared experiences. The task was to create a design system that captured the theater’s evolving essence and engaged its audience in fresh and meaningful ways. The solution: a generative design system of fluid, expressive lines—visual representations of the theater’s ability to narrate, reinterpret, and transform. These dynamic patterns mirror the gestures, voices, and movements of the stage, evolving in real-time to reflect the collaborative and exploratory spirit of the Stadttheater.

Data is what we use to gather and express our knowledge about the world – and its role is exponentially growing as a central role in social, political and economic life.

The problem is that most people have neither the skills nor the interest to read or evaluate series of numbers and tables. People are needed to give form to the numbers, to put them in relation to each other and to the world around us, making them legible for everyone: this is the task of designers. Whether graphic, UX or fashion design – design makes virtual and physical things functional and beautiful. It creates form and makes things usable. With this central social position – especially in the information age – comes responsibility. The field of work of designers is currently expanding considerably. It is not just about reducing complexity and decorating products in an appealing way in the face of exponentially increasing information density, but also about making possible futures tangible by staging ideas. This ability to shape the world as an elementary part of the design profession must be recognized by designers and integrated into their everyday professional life as a responsibility.

The Philharmonie Luxembourg is an esteemed music venue and acclaimed worldwide. In order to bond with a new generation of music-lovers, its emphasis and core values have been re-shifted to focus on emotion, live experiences, and the joy of music. To make this vision a reality, NB Studio and I collaborated on designing and realizing a new identity which puts music at the very heart of the brand. Designed as a 21st-century brand, the identity blends the sound of the music performed at the venue with its building’s signature vertical columns. As different genres of music are played, the design of the logo is altered, reflecting the genre in real-time and breathing life into the brand. In this way, the visual representation of the Philharmonie is constantly being refreshed and given an energy that appeals to music-lovers of all ages.

Picture a stone hitting calm waters, creating a cascade of ripples – a sort of kinetic energy that brings to life ever-evolving forms of expressions to tell a story about breaking up the static and embracing the unexpected.

Distinctive patterns, born from a blend of disruption and artistry, capturing the essence of the brand by focussing on movement and the potent force of a rebellious spirit in motion.
