In their work process this creative team
favors a close collaboration with their
clients and is constantly searching for
new ideas that go beyond the simple
visual representation. Their methodology
involves durability by way of the use of
layers instead of one single concept. They
also put great emphasis on the selection
of materials and printing processes. Their
style is characterized by the systematic use
of modular elements, which are combined
with images and texts displayed in
apparent tension.
AMSTERDAM FORMS PART of the great
Dutch conurbation of Randstad, one of
the largest in Europe. It is here that the
studio Nieseen & de Vries, run by the
