Work
Although members of the group are designing some of their projects individually, they benefit of working in a team through sharing their experience and views on design in general, and a studio space. Together they have designed a corporate identity for the Glej Theatre and info-graphics for the 2010 Month of Design. With a group Sindikat they presented a Work-in-progress project at the Škuc Gallery, printing and binding their own artist's book in situ.
Their name is constantly present at the Biennial of Slovene Visual Communications and their work was presented at numerous other exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad, to mention only the most recent exhibitions Work from Slovenia in Brno (2008) and Zagreb (2009), and Type Directors Club 55th Awards Exhibition in New York (2009). Through lectures they presented themselves also at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht (2009) and Casco, Office for Art, Design and Theory in Utrecht (2008).
