Company profile
Over the past 15+ years we cultivated a decentralised scene of 300+ collaborators across various industries. Rooted in design consultancy, we analyze our clients’ needs in order to assemble temporary teams of talents, to problem-solve and create (we also run some background maths).
Creatives get to elevate their personal output through intentional collaborations, where we match skills to needs, and personalities to each other. Clients get solid solutions with minimal overhead, delivered by bespoke task forces. (Custom Organisation)
As a whitelabel project facilitator, our operational capabilities are directly tied to this resilient mesh of productive, human-to-human relationships. We're fully committed to client-centricity and talent development. No agency agenda. (Nodentity)
C/O embraces an unlimited scope with regards to the interdisciplinarity, complexity and scale of the problems it solves. We share the perspective that design is a universal method of problem-solving, encompassing analysis, research, production, people and organization. (Total Design)
In 2019, C/O facilitated 112 projects, involving 175 collaborators, and 5 studio spaces with accessible cultural-educational programming, while producing a net value of around 1M Euro with just 2 employees. We’re agile, and lean AF.

Problem
Together with Abbott, a producer of medical glucose patches that save lives, we identified the need for a better work environment in their European offices.
Solution
We redesigned the offices housing 2500 employees, to better match the company’s product and overall philosophy. By using specific materials for office furniture and introducing activating moments we created a healthier and more dynamic environment. In addition, we developed a creative training programme, with engaging educational materials for new employees to become direct-to-patient consultants.

Problem
Before The Circle, a space for personal practice and collaboration, was born, we identified two problems:
1. A long queue of students waiting outside a library
2. A studio space which was only used occasionally for workshops and photoshoots.
Solution
Our solution came in the form of the simple notion of sharing space. We offered our studio in Aachen to a group of students from different disciplines, such as photography and product design. Under the name ‘The Circle’ the studio became a safe space, giving access to community, tools, and new ideas. Together, the students developed exhibitions and a short film festival, while fostering a creative community in the city.
