four shapes and endless stories
thie studios takes greeting cards to a whole new level. Geometric shapes are transformed in a minimalistic and novel way, so that you can send some tailor made greetings. thie studios is a Hamburg based design studio that’s run and inspired by Katja Kirchner, a graphic designer who’s work has been internationally recognised by d&ad, cannes lions, red dot, one show, eurobest, ADC germany, europe and ADC New York. Besides everyday designwork, the studio focus is on creating unique paperwork. The challenge is to find a happy medium between abstract art and well loved themes. thie studios believes that it should be possible to buy greeting cards that are comparable to little works of art for your pin board, your fridge or for a special smile in a friend’s letterbox. The studio pays particular attention to the entire production process and even goes as far as handpicking a selection of high quality paper to ensure a superior finish. All their products are printed in Germany on FSC certified fine paper. The new winter collection shows a range of g e o m e t r i c a l greeting cards with gold foiled highlights but also a new series of non-geometrical, handdrawn and letterpressed ones. Take a quick peak and discover the greeting cards from thie studios.
