Our new logo stands for creativity, unconventional thinking, minimalism and boldness. Logo that appears to be simple but has a hidden layer of complexity.

Big changes are here! We’re excited to introduce our new identity - one that reflects our growth, values, and vision for the future. Welcome to no ordinary design, a fresh take on who we are and where we’re headed!

Every brand evolves, and so do we. What started as 4 young artists who have grown into something bigger, bolder, and more refined. After months of thoughtful design and strategy, we’re thrilled to reveal our rebrand - a new look and a stronger voice.

We had a chance to work on an interior design project for a small 45m2 apartment in the heart of Āgenskalns. The apartment is in a historical building. Historically, these apartments were made for working class citizens, that explains why apartments are made so small. Thanks to previous owners, that respected the value of 20th century design elements, such as the old stove in the living room and simple celling decorations we were able to restore those with minimal effort. Interior design project includes renovation of Livingroom, Bedroom, Workspace, Entrance Hall and Compact bathroom. The kitchen had recently been done by previous owners and will be left as it is. Apartment owners like artistic and cozy way of living as well as having board game nights with their friends. We tried to reflect and implement these wishes in the choice and placement of furniture. A very important aspect was to make apartment more atmospheric, therefore the project envisages the placement of both the main and several atmosphere-creating lights in the apartment.

As part of the Science Centre project, we also worked on the design and technical drawings of custom furniture. Here's a little insight into some of them. To solve the problem of the awkward placement of the room walls, we approached the problem creatively. The main challenge was to design the wardrobe shelving system in a way that would not block the window and light flow into the room. The furniture was designed with a slightly bevelled side.

For the makerspace workshop, we designed tables on wheels to make it easier to move them around and configure the room as needed.

For the computer lab, we designed a TV screen grid that integrates a laptop charging station and extra space for the computer to work more comfortably with the screen!

Zinātnes centra projekta ietvaros strādājām arī pie custom mēbeļu dizaina un to tehniskajiem rasējumiem. Šeit neliels ieskats dažām no tām. Lai atrisinātu neparocīgu telpas sienu izvietojumu problēmai piegājām radoši. Galvenais uzdevums bija veidot garderobes plauktu sistēmu tā, lai tā nebloķētu logu un gaismas ieplūšanu telpā. Paredzot mēbelei nedaudz nošķeltu sāna daļu.

Makerspace darbnīcai veidojām bīdāmus galdus uz ritentiņiem, lai tos ir vieglāk pārbīdīt un veidot telpas konfigurāciju pēc nepieciešamības.

Datorklasei paredzējām TV ekrāna režģi, kurā integrēta portatīvo datoru uzlādes stacija un papildus vieta datoram, lai ērtāk darbotos ar ekrānu!

Our concept was to use the existing colours of the science centre's visual identity. The remaining spaces outline the learning opportunities inherent in a science centre. A large Makerspace space, which we called ALFA, has been created, with space to work with different materials, tools and try out skills with 3D printers. A larger cabinet system was designed to accommodate the necessary materials and 3D printers. Next to the Makerspace is a computer lab - BETA. We provided a modern custom-made laptop charging cabinet. Next to the computer room, two classrooms will be used for teaching, Delta and Sigma. In all the classrooms, including the computer room, we provided wall graphics based on the Science Centre's knowledge values! The furniture has been chosen so that it can be easily moved to suit the purpose and needs of the classroom. We chose to use modular desks on wheels so that they can be easily arranged in the classroom by changing the configuration.

Mūsu koncepta pamatā bija izmantot esošās zinātnes centra vizuālās identitātes krāsas. Atlikušās telpas ieskicē zinātnes centram raksturīgās mācību iespējas. Izveidota plaša Makerspace telpa, kurai devām nosaukumu ALFA, ar vietu, kur iespējams darboties ar dažādiem materiāliem, instrumentiem un iemēģināt prasmes darbā ar 3D printeriem. Paredzēta lielāka skapju sistēma, lai nepieciešamos materiālus un 3D printerus būtu kur novietot. Blakus Makerspace telpai atrodas datorklase - BETA. Tajā paredzējām modernu custom made portatīvo datoru lādēšanas skapi. Blakus datorklasei paredzētas divas telpas mācību klasēm, attiecīgi Delta un Sigma. Visās mācību telpās, to skaitā, datorklasē paredzējām sienu grafiskos zīmējumus, kuru koncepta pamatā ir zinātnes centra zināšanu vērtības! Mēbeles izvēlētas tā, lai iespēju gadījumā tās ir viegli pārbīdāmās, pielāgojot nodarbības mērķim un nepieciešamībām. Paredzēti galdi uz ritentiņiem vai modulārā tipa, lai tos ērti var izvietot klasēs mainot konfigurāciju.

Moving forward on the interior design for science centre. We also gave each room, including the lounge, a special name related to the laws of physics - the lounge, OMEGA! As the project continued to develop, the next room we tackled was the lounge. Given that this was the room with the most informal atmosphere in the project, we wanted to reflect this in our design by giving it a playful and bright pink tone. This automatically creates a light and open atmosphere. In addition to the interior design, we also created graphic design material for all the rooms in the Science Centre, but in this room the drawing has a special meaning, it reflects what the Science Centre does - to encourage people to think purposefully about different scientific processes and to look for scientific coincidences, to not be afraid of a challenge and to keep moving forward!

Katrai telpai, ieskaitot atpūtas telpu, devām arī īpašu nosaukumu, kas saistīts ar fizikas likumiem - atpūtas telpa, OMEGA! Turpinot projekta attīstību nākamā telpa, kurai ķērāmies klāt bija atpūtas telpa. Ņemot vērā, ka šī projektā bija telpa ar visneformālāko atmosfēru, tad to gribējām atspoguļot arī mūsu dizainā piešķirot tai rotaļīgo un spilgti rozā toni. Tādējādi automātiski radot vieglu un atvērtu atmosfēru. Papildus interjera dizainam veidojām arī grafiskā dizaina materiālu visām zinātnes centra telpām. Atpūtas telpā zīmējumam ir īpaša nozīme, tas atspoguļo zinātnes centra darbību - mērķtiecīgi rosināt domāt par dažādiem zinātnes procesiem un meklēt zinātnes sakritības, nebaidīties no izaicinājuma un nemitīgi virzīties uz priekšu!

We recently had the great opportunity to participate in the interior design of the Science Centre. The aim was to create a space that could be further used for full teacher training courses and other activities needed for the Science Centre.
We used the existing brand and identity colours of the Science Centre as the basis for our design, thus also dividing the spaces according to their functional use.
Starting with the cloakroom/waiting area, we chose to dress it in light green, which is one of the brand's identifying symbols, thus creating a simple yet very striking link with the brand identity.

Nesen mums bija lieliska iespēja piedalīties Zinātnes Centra interjera projekta izstrādē. Mērķis bija radīt telpas, kurās tālāk varētu organizēt pilnvērtīgus skolotāju sagatavošanas kursus un aizvadīt citas zinātnes centram nepieciešamās aktivitātes.
Par mūsu dizaina pamatu izmantojam zīmola un zinātnes centra esošās identitātes krāsas, tādējādi arī sadalot telpas pēc to funkcionālā pielietojuma.
Sākot ar garderobes / uzgaidāmās telpas daļu mēs izvēlējāmies to ietērpt gaiši zaļajā tonī, kas ir viens no zīmola atpazīstamības simboliem, tādējādi radot vienkāršu un tajā pašā laikā ļoti spilgtu sasaisti ar zīmola identitāti.

We had an opportunity to participate in Tandeems competition "Future of garage", this was our proposal:

Multi purpose creative hub/quarter - RAIŅA IELAS RADOŠAIS KVARTĀLS, CĒSIS

First off, before diving deep into the explanation of our idea we want to start by acknowledging Cesis on of the creativity centers of Vidzeme. This plays a big role not only in Cesis region but in Latvia as a whole. Generally we associate Latvian cities with one very significant thing that characterises them and for Cesis aside from their historical heritage it’s culture, art and music.
Therefore we want to emphasise this characteristic of the town by providing with a new and addition space for creativity. Where people can gather make, sell and enjoy art and music not just from Cesis, but from all around Latvia.

We propose to create a sort of creative hub/quarter, which would be a complete self sufficient complex for such a function. Our idea composes of splitting the quarter in such zones: a place for events, a place for galleries, a place for commercial activities and a place for work. We plan on achieving this by creating one end of the garage complex as a place for a open-air stage, cafeteria bars and a food court and galleries. The middle part of the complex would be used as a market for all sorts of local goods and services which can be transformed into a seating area for concerts when the shops close up in the evening and lastly the very far part of the complex would be composed private workspaces for local and resident artists where they could create their work uninterrupted by all of the fuss whilst still having it as a nice background for creativity to flow.

The upper part of the garage complex would be transformed into a park of sorts, combining such functions like: seating area for passive recreation and concerts, activities zone for calisthenics and a small skatepark.

The whole complex would be blessed with additional greenery and new plants in specific boxes, which can later be replanted into soil if necessary.

Compact 22.10 square meter interior design project for a living room / kitchen / workspace in Riga. With relatively little space in the apartment, it was important to provide space for different functions - a workspace, a kitchen and a dining area, as well as a recreation corner and a solution for storing belongings like books, plants, decors etc.. The interior for the living room of the apartment includes the use of accent colours that complement the texture of the custom made wooden furniture.
