POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Since co-founding @kurppahosk, Thomas Kurppa’s focus has shifted from making the work himself to creating the conditions for it across an agency that now has more than 200 people.⁠
⁠
He and Måns Hosk started Kurppa Hosk in Stockholm in 2009, after pitching together for a major client and winning before they had an agency. They now work across five cities.⁠
⁠
In our interview, he speaks about how his role changed as the agency grew, the record label he started with a few other DJs in the early 1990s, and why taste and judgement still come from individuals.⁠

✅ Wie wird aus einem Online-Shop eine Marke mit Haltung?

@zalando steht an einem Wendepunkt. Weg von der reinen Transaktion, hin zu einer Plattform, die Orientierung, Inspiration und Selbstbewusstsein rund um Stil schafft.

Die Herausforderung: Wie entwickelt man eine Identität für eine Marke, die nicht nur verkauft, sondern verbindet?

Gemeinsam mit @kurppahosk entstand ein System, das auf Klarheit und Reduktion setzt. Wenige, präzise Elemente übernehmen die Führung und schaffen eine visuelle Sprache, die flexibel bleibt und gleichzeitig sofort wiedererkennbar ist.

Keine radikale Neuerfindung, sondern ein gezielter Shift. Von Funktion zu Bedeutung. Von Angebot zu Haltung.

Auf der CXI zeigen Zalando und Kurppa Hosk gemeinsam, wie Design Wachstum ermöglicht, ohne sich ständig neu erfinden zu müssen.

Weitere Cases:
Lufthansa Group × MetaDesign
Katholino × Eiga Design
