📚 Fabian is our new working student, supporting the Consulting team while working on his master’s thesis in Innovation Management, focusing on ambiguity tolerance.
 
🔥 Nick starts as a Business Designer + Strategist, optimizing processes and integrating business design with our human-centered approach. Plus, he’s a voluntary firefighter, so we’re covered in case of emergencies!

The EU’s proposed Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) could establish pioneering standards for sustainable practices, from packaging design to waste management. Why wait for the EU? Become a packaging hero today and set new standards. Sustainable design is aesthetic, functional, effective, and inspiring. At dfhn, we’ve championed good design for 30 years, eliminating excess and reducing complexity – from innovative packaging design to brand identity. Regardless of the PPWR, together we’re already crafting brand-appropriate solutions for a responsible packaging world.

Thrilled to have Madeleine, a communication designer from Augsburg, join our team in Hamburg! She made the move from Bavaria to bring her unique design flair to our design and strategy lab. With a background in a small Augsburg agency, her most recent project was an impressive exhibition design.
Having already fallen for Hamburg during her studies, Madeleine’s back for the city, dfhn, and kiting! She spent the past few months soaking up the sun and surf at a kitestation in Egypt before making her way back here. Now, she’s ready to infuse her creative spark into our projects.
Welcome aboard, Madeleine!

The first German Creative Economy Summit in Hamburg was a fantastic experience! We engaged in inspiring discussions and opened our own discussion on “Innovations Need Feelings: Discover the Four Basic Principles of Design Feeling 💓.” Through projects like the “Fish Box,” we demonstrated how to integrate emotions into design. Our philosophy of embracing positive emotions is crucial for sustainable innovations. By sharing stories and images, we transfer enthusiasm and create new behavioral patterns. We look forward to the next summit! Many thanks to the organizers .hamburg!

Currently, we are actively sending out our friendly reminder to simply “feel” more: more empathy, more love, more happiness…🩷
If you would like to have your own poster briefly tell us why you believe feelings are so important, and we will send you one for free.
Let’s start this year with a good feeling from the very beginning! ✨

Say hello to Hélène!

Growing up in Warstein in Westphalia, Hélène started her studies driven by her passion for crafting new things and finding innovative solutions to everyday problems. She recently completed her master’s studies with a focus on accessible and human-centered design. Seeking a studio that shares her values, she chose to join dfhn for our hands-on approach, which emphasizes physical prototyping and model-making.
As a volunteer for the Association of German Industrial Designers (VDID), Hélène enjoys organizing events for design students and young professionals. Outside of work, she finds fulfillment in gardening, powerlifting and exploring nature and museums.

Please extend a warm welcome to Hélène, our new 3D design intern. Exciting times are ahead! 🚀

Our observant and empathic workshops often build the base to work on new challenges. We use them to deeply understand a topic, brainstorm first ideas or just play around with different stimuli. In the end our aim is the experience instead of the final result 💡🙇⁠⠀

Ein schöner Artikel zum Thema Heimatliebe.. da darf der Herzanker natürlich nicht fehlen :)

"Kernstück der Marke ist aber das von der Hamburger Design-Agentur »feldman+schultchen« (jetzt: design for human nature) entworfene Logo, der Herzanker, der häufig auch tätowiert wird und zum Symbol für »the real Hamburg« wurde."

„Every beer needs that homespun touch.” That would appear to be the central theme of German beer advertising. That‘s why most breweries try so hard to imbue their brands with robust local character. It’s got to be premium, loud and expensive: shiny gold foil and TV ads featuring national heroes. At the eye of this marketing typhoon, a new beer has emerged: 5,0 Original. It has all the promise of a genuine quality beer – understatement and sincerity. It is five degrees of alcohol at an honest price. Because it sticks to the essentials, 5,0 finds its niche where every true German beer belongs: in calmness and strength. And when our work is done we smile inwardly and remind ourselves that ‘beer is good’.⁣⠀

Appreciation and trust is what children experience in the Arche - regardless of their social background. They can play, tinker around, make new friends and simply feel safe. That's what we want to support.
At the Arche’s summer party we printed colorful bags together with the kids.
That are the kind of things we love to do. Being close to the people, curious and enthusiastic. @ Hamburg, Germany
