In collaboration with our partners Spielplan4 and Atelier d’Alves we undertook the task to reposition, rename and redesign this Swiss institution.

With a team of over 100 dedicated educators, therapists, and teachers, Kompetenzzentrum is committed to providing support for children with special educational and therapeutical needs. This institution is dedicated to carefully nurturing each individual’s distinctive learning potential.

This commitment is reflected in our current initiatives. Currently we give classes in Transformative Thinking at the University of Applied Sciences Schwäbisch Gmünd (HfG) and engage in a partnership with the Institute for Business Design Berlin (ifW) as associates.

At the heart of Sammlung Walter lies a profound curiosity for production methods. This drive has led them to craft a series of interior and fashion objects that follow a unique principle: each design is launched in three distinct versions. It exists as a one-of-a-kind design object, a scalable mass-produced product, and even in the form of a DIY construction guide.

This distinctive approach has unlocked exciting opportunities at the intersection of design, product sales, and artistic installations.

From day one, we have partnered with the founders, providing strategic insights, shaping their narrative, and steering the creative direction.

Our mission was to empower the diverse landscape of cultural institutions within Bremen’s Neustadt neighbourhood to collectively articulate their vision, thereby enhancing both the cultural landscape and the overall quality of life in the entire district. Since the project’s inception in 2014, the neighbourhood’s vitality has flourished, establishing it as one of the favoured residential choices within the city.

What commenced as a series of workshops, strategic design development, and a naming initiative has since evolved into a non-governmental entity, closely integrated with the neighbourhood management, shaping the cultural identity of the city.
