Gessaga Hindermann

Philosophy

Both architects and interior designers, they founded designrichtung gmbh in 2000 with the aim of jointly developing and implementing interior design,exhibition design, product design projects. In 2009, they changed the companys name but not their direction. Gessaga Hindermann's design philosophy is based on delivering superior quality while at the same time conveying the joy of design as well as a certain sense of irony."Through ordinary, everyday phenomena, we would like to see human curiosity play a more important part in our everyday lives again",  Gessaga and Hindermann explain.

While striving to tackle contemporary problems by taking an innovative approach, the human factor plays a central role in their work.Gessaga Hindermann are also very much aware of the importance of business management analysis. Every one of their projects is based on a thorough analysis of the workflows and communication issues of the individual customer. The consultation side of things is therefore extremely important.The change of direction and fresh image which Gessaga Hindermann give any customer are not meant as mere improvements, but are intended to express, both internally and externally, the customers long-term corporate strategy.
