PostSpectacular is here
| PostSpectacular is a small London based design studio and consultancy actively exploring the growing possibilities at the intersection of various design disciplines and software development. Working cross-disciplinary with a network of other creatives, our design approach is based on treating ideas as software at the heart, which in turn informs all other facets of each project. Please do get in touch for more information. | We are using code as primary design tool to build unique, highly adaptable platforms, installations, services and systems for some of the world's most respected & innovative brands. Please also check our blog and recent work. True to our manifesto this website is in constant development… |
What we're up to...
Thank you all for the amazing journey & collaborations this last year. Here's to using the new year to set an example for the decade(s) to come and learn more, act more, play more, listen & understand each other better. Happy 2010! Love, Karsten & family.
