Our
Room
is situated in an old factory building on the second floor on the north side. The relativly high Room has windows on three sides, which makes it fairly bright without the risks of direkt exposure to sunlight. There are more studios and workshops in the House and the creative, cooperative and pleasent atmosphere helps very much to do our concentrated and precise work. We would like to give special thanks to our neighbour, the graphic artist Bernhard Kunkler, who again and again helped us with advice and with his computers without getting impatient. We would also like to thank his daughter Fanny. She drew our Logo at the age of nine. |
