Keeping it analogue.

From the conversations I had with Ingo and Chris, I got a better idea of the essence of their work and what motivates them.

Most importantly, Klub7 is driven by a relentless curiosity; and thus constantly experiments with new materials. That is, unconventional materials – not necessarily new in the digital sense, which is something they’ve only recently began working on. In fact, Ingo explained how these days the pull towards more non-digital or analogue formats is stronger than towards computer-based tools. This doesn’t stop them from working digitally however, since it has its own advantages as well.

Always staying curious.

I’d say the most important aspect of Klub7′s creative process is curiosity and never settling. This shines through all of their work and especially when one looks around their studio: whether it’s testing typographic skills on a piece of glass hung on the wall, or the results of a laser machine test from the Weißensee University, or the stacks of door-parts sitting on shelves, ready to be sand-papered and brought back to life.
