Undoing the world
At the end of 2024, we lost someone precious: designer Céline Nidegger had joined our team only a few months earlier. We would have loved to introduce her to you. She leaves behind her personal project, which continues here thanks to an association.
Her passing has left us speechless. It has taken us some time to get these newsletters up and running again.
The whole team looks forward to seeing you this autumn.
