PostSpectacular is here
More projects than time to keep this site updated, a new & much improved one is in the makes. Get in touch to be notified. Thank you!
| 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 out recent works and the manifesto. A new website is forthcoming… |
