This water proofed packaging was designed for our limited Vandal-shirt edition which was on sail on www.vandalsquad.com from 2006-2007.
The sealed black rubber bag is screen-printed on both sides featuring an idiot-proof instruction on how to open the bag and put on the shirt.
Vandalsquad was our first self initiated project in 2002. Its core is a realistic graffiti paint tool (shockwave application) which can be used online or downloaded to the desktop.
Users paint around 45.000 graffitis per month, adding up to more than 9 mio paintings within the last years.
We where asked to create the corporate design for the newly established Einstein Foundation Berlin which promotes research excellence in Berlin.Its partners are the scientific institutions in Berlin, particularly the four universities.
We started off with a modular system of 2 squares first. An illustration on the left hand side and a colored square on the right. Unfortunately we had to get rid of the illustration because of image rights. The client decided to go with the red square only.

Passage - a short film and an installation presented by Swarovski Entertainment - was made to become an online experience as well.
To reach this goal we used stills, videos and audio from the film and integrated it into a crystalized world of fragments where there is no end and no beginning.
The online project was devided in three launch phases. In the first phase the website announced the upcoming Passage film just showing a slim cutout the viewer could sneak through.
The user could navigate through a simple drop down menu or choose his own path through the website intuitively while travelling from one impression to the next.
The different areas of the Passage website are connected by smooth transitions. The content is thus percieved in an emotionally movie-like way.
For creating the film Passage and the installation Sankalpa Swarovski Entertainment cooperated with director Shekhar Kapur and architect David Ajaye - both well known men from the culture scene.
The composition of sound and image that was shown online formed an additinal successful piece of entertainment.
Based on the idea that Less Rain is creating "small worlds" - websites that are more interactive, fun environments than navigable information spaces - we developed this printed portfolio as mail-out and give-away.
The ring binder is filled with large postcards featuring snapshots from the latest projects. It comes sealed in a waterproof package, the design showing small islands inside one gigantic swimming pool.
After 10 years of building custom websites for various clients and seeing the demand for more complex e-communication tools growing constantly, we saw the need to develop THE ONE system for all needs which enables us to build cost effective state of the art websites including everything for your daily e-business and e-communication needs.
The MMS-figaro web kit is a blog based system which allows the creation of a highly dynamic custom designed website with as many subpages as you need.
"Figaro" includes a blog, twitter feed, is linking to location based information, google maps, calendars, adress books and contains all common media links for a minimum price.
The easy to use administration area (as simple as wordPress but more powerful) allows you to administrate every single section of your website.
The MMS-figaro kit can be skinned according to existing corporate design guidelines.
These examples show the variety of designs within the figaro kit.
The figaro basic package costs include the implementation of your corporate design. Alternatively we can develop a new design for online and offline with our partner company less rain.
Profit from all Future developments and improvements by choosing "figaro"!
By choosing "figaro" as your e-communication solution you will be subscribing to a dynamic web-system which is constantly improved.
Our company will be keeping to develop new components and modules for the figaro system in the future. The next modules will be a shop system and i-phone / android-phone adaptions.
Flightlab is the online equivalent to the Red Bull Flugtag; a global event taking place in 23 different countries around the world where people build homemade, man-powered flying machines and pilot them off a 30-foot high ramp.
The online platform includes a fun-to-use workshop where people can build and paint their own flying machines. Physical qualities - material, size and shape - all influence the flight behaviour, giving each plane unique characteristics.
Pilots can store their planes on their personal homepage, a hangar, and continue working on them later on.
The goal of the game is to cover as much distance as possible. To achieve this, users may experiment with acrobatic maneuvers, collect cans of Red Bull to refuel and employ the thermal updrafts.
Points are given after each flight for distance covered and piloting style. Loops, drifts, rolls, low-level flight and other maneuvers are rewarded. In addition, the other users rate the plane's design. A total score is calculated which, if it's good enough, may be included on a high score table.
Awards
The project has won numerous international awards, 2 Webby Awards, Gold at the BIMA awards, 2 x Gold at the Davey Awards, Silver at the W3 Awards, Bronze at The One Show Interactive and the Cannes Cyber Lions, a FAB and a FABulous Award, Gold at the Clios, Winner/3D and Best In Show at Flash in the Can, and it won FWA Site of the Day and Site of the Month, amongst others.
The hugely successful game nearly doubled the traffic on Red Bull's corporate website. Flight Lab's spiritual successor, the Red Bull Soapbox Racer was launched one year later, and an update of Flight Lab is in the works.
This invitation was designed for Less Rain's Tokyo office launch party, an indoor picnic with German beer, sausages and pea soup, accompanied by a Japanese interpretation of German folk music.
The handcrafted invitation was send to 50 selected guests from Tokyo's advertising and design scene, introducing Less Rain as a design company with strong German roots.
Red Bull Soapbox - kids of all ages in self-made cars, racing down a steep hill. An extremely popular event, held throughout the year across the globe. The cars are powered by gravity only, no engines allowed but all dreams and colors.
And now it’s online! All of it, the cars, the race, the place to meet and challenge your friends. We call it Red Bull Soapbox Racer and racing you will.
Race first, think later
One single click on “Race now” and you find yourself on top of a steep road, pointing downhill. While the countdown is running, please be reminded that the game is based on a realistic physics simulation and you should not not not smash into one of those nice obstacles. Do collect cans for an extra speed boost and don’t forget the spanners.With ultra speed comes maybe damage.
If you didn’t win instantly the first time, maybe it was the wrong track. We have tracks for everybody, Wildwest, Night Ride, Turkish Riviera, Waterland, Alpenglück - many more will be added. Or was there a problem with the car?
Another car, another race
Red Bull Soapbox Racer lets you build your own car in 3D. Just draw the outline with your mouse. It’s really that simple and everything you draw will have an effect later in the game. The rounder the wheels the better, reconsider materials, use more stickers, paint, use colors, use more colors than your opponents, use every tool you have at least once. And winning races will get you even more of those. (THERE IS A NAILGUN!)
Give it some love, cars will be rated by who-knows-what so make sure there is no doubt. You may also browse through all existing cars for some inspiration.
The Challenge
After tinkering and test driving for a while there comes a point in time where you are quite sure to have the best car ever built on this planet. Challenge your friends! Invite them by E-Mail or simply click on the name of your long-time-rival in the so-called friends list.
A challenge works like this: Start the challenge and you have three attempts to race your best time. After that your opponent will be notified and offered three rounds to beat your time.
And after that, there is the high score list for everyone to see.
Steeper, faster, harder
It’s even better to challenge somebody on your own surprise track.Give it a try, it’s simpler than building cars. Draw with your mouse where the street should go, done. Then, if you like, adjust the downward slope with some gusto and remember the guideline: The steeper the faster. Place obstacles and power-ups as you see fit, some recommend at least one can of Red Bull.
Red Bull Soapbox Racer is the latest addition to our creative online communities. Make yourrace times heard, we sure will try to beat you. See you on the circuit!
After creating the corporate design for the newly established Einstein Foundation Berlin which promotes research excellence in Berlin we were asked to realize their website as well.
We provided to our client an easy to use website he could fully edit and update by himself. This was a great opportunity for us to use our new Figaro Website Kit.
To promote the Falling Walls conference - organized by the Einstein Foundation - we created a smooth transition between www.einsteinfoundation.de and www.falling-walls.com.
Lately it came to my mind that the wood craft from German Erzgebirge could serve as a source of inspiration for modern character design.
Those Ergebirge miners from about 150 years and even earlier ago developed quite a mania choosing simple forms and shapes, long before Oskar Schlemmer created his Triardisches Ballett.
Having that in mind I stumbled across this exhibition in Berlin Torstrasse presenting these plain big guys:
