We at studiokurbos® are proud of our interns! Have a look!

Hochburg × studiokurbos® Die Presets sind jedes Mal eine Sternstunde und ein positiver Druck zugleich: Das Sujet ist Papier, ein Festivalzelt von einem Magazin, ergo ein Fest für uns Designer, angetrieben von einem euphorischen, mitreißenden Auftraggeber: „Ich will, dass ihr experimentiert!“ Durchdrehen ist erlaubt und Andreas Kurbos und sein Team meinen das sehr ernst.   In Stuttgart wird die Mobilität von morgen gedacht und entworfen: Als globales Designstudio in den Bereichen Automotive, Produktdesgin und UX extrahiert studiokurbos alltäglich bei visionären Projekten seinen Sinn für Ästhetik, intuitive Funktionalität und Trends der Zukunft. Das soll extraordinär im eigenen Magazin den Kunden und Partnern transportiert werden. Der Duft von frisch bedrucktem Papier soll mit dem Wow-Effekt fusionieren.   Außerdem ist die No6 die erste Ausgabe nach fünf Jahren. studiokurbos ist seit dem letzten Magazin (2019) sehr gewachsen; das Team, der internationale Status, 2021 wurde ein zweiter Standort in Shanghai eröffnet sowie der Ruf als Experten für den chinesischen (Automobil)Markt hart erarbeitet. Sprich: Die Ausgabe musste ein Banger werden.   Wir schalteten den Design-Mobilitätsmodus auf intuitives Abheben und flogen über die einzelnen Seiten hinweg. Unter der konzeptionellen Themenklammer „Crossculture“ ergießen sich wilde Farben und wilde Typos über die Seiten, Bubble-artige Elemente und Figuren steigen aus der 2D-Ebene auf. Hat man sonst außerdem in dieser extremen Form eher selten: das überstarke, futuristische Bildmaterial, das studiokurbos geliefert hat, gab dem A3-Tableau den ausschlaggebenden Hebel in Richtung was-ist-das-denn-für-ein-krasser-Shit.   Crossculture wird ein immer wichtigeres Movement, gerade im globalisierten Business-Kontext, und bezeichnet die Wechselwirkung und den respektvollen wie wertschätzenden Austausch zwischen Menschen aus verschiedenen kulturellen Hintergründen. Dieser Spirit des Transfers floss in die Gestaltung mit ein. Es entsteht eine Dynamik zwischen Rausch und Ruhe. Die komplexe Welt, in der sich studiokurbos bewegt, wird kunstvoll simpel in das Auge des Konsumenten projiziert. Ein Magazin, wie eine Pop-Art-Gallery. Einzelne Seiten dürfen gerne gerahmt und aufgehängt werden. #stuttgart #corporatepublishing #mobility #automotivedesign Fabian Schmutzer Florian Boyd Martin Elbert

RESEARCH PROJECT RUMBA On April 24, 2024, the final presentation of the long-term research project RUMBA took place in Renningen. studiokurbos collaborated with renowned partners such as Audi AG, Bosch GmbH, and the University of Stuttgart for over 40 months on the fully automated driving experience RUMBA. The focus of the research project was to assess and reinterpret the highly debated topic of autonomous driving and its implications for drivers and passengers. RUMBA aims to redesign the interior and driving experience for vehicle passengers during fully automated driving from three perspectives - research, technology, and design.
