Orientation, information and communication within spaces - for brands, the public sector and cultural institutions worldwide: these are the key areas in which we work. Peter Eckart and Bernd Hilpert established unit-design in 2000 in Frankfurt. In 2018 we were widening our activity by founding our branch in Bern with Matthias Decker. Today, we are a team of fifteen, developing design solutions to high creative and strategic standards – and successfully putting them into practice. Working with international customers and partners, we implement projects with lasting design quality. In our projects, we operate as an independent, specialised unit of design specialists, working closely with architects, urban planners, graphic designers and curators. As a result of this, we have built up an international network of professional partners.
