Garderobe 125, 2026
Thut Möbel is known for its iconic folding curtain, used as both a wardrobe door and a room divider. In the made-to-measure production process, numerous offcuts of the aluminium profile accumulate—high-quality material with untapped potential.
Together with the Thut team, we developed Garderobe 125, a wall-mounted coat rack created directly from these leftover profile sections. Combined with 3D-printed hooks, the result is a product that feels unmistakably Thut: precise, efficient, and adaptable by design.
At a time when overproduction defines large parts of the furniture industry, Garderobe 125 proposes a different approach. By transforming existing profiles into a functional, durable product, the project demonstrates how thoughtful design can extend the life of materials already in use. Rather than starting from new resources, value is created through rethinking what is already available.
Garderobe 125 reinforces Thut’s long-standing commitment to intelligent, resource-conscious construction—showing that meaningful products can emerge from constraints, not despite them.

Drop and Mesh, 2026
During our initial meetings with the team at Stiftung WohnWerk, we discovered that many people with disabilities working at Stiftung WohnWerk enjoyed circular knitting using knitting rings. Over time, numerous knitted pieces had accumulated, yet there was no clear idea of how these could be developed into finished products.
We therefore focused on developing product concepts that use these circular knitted components as their main material. The result: DROP, a flexible bottle carrier that adapts to different bottle shapes, and MESH, a lamp made from white knitted cord that becomes beautifully illuminated when lit.
Our work for Stiftung WohnWerk focused on product design and built on an activity that was already meaningful and widely enjoyed. By developing it further into market-ready products, we helped create tangible value for Stiftung WohnWerk and the people involved. Additionally, through carefully designed packaging and targeted product photography, we laid the foundation for the products to be successfully sold across various retail channels.

ADC3, 2025
For CAMAG, a Swiss manufacturer of laboratory instruments, we designed the new ADC 3 — a device that delivers comfort, safety, and reproducibility in isocratic development.
As the first product developed under the new HPTLC design strategy we created, the ADC 3 introduces a unifying blue interface panel that integrates touch control, display, product name, and branding into a single, iconic element.
This design approach ensures a consistent user interface and visual identity across a product family with very different form factors and functionalities.
By enhancing usability and strengthening product recognition, the new design improves the experience for laboratory professionals while reinforcing CAMAG’s position as the global leader in HPTLC.

Daybag, 2025
The Arwole Daybag was developed for Arwole, a social institution based in Sargans with a strong tradition in wood, leather, and textile craftsmanship.
Conceived as a high-quality tote, the Daybag was designed for long-term use. Robust materials, reinforced stress points, and a reduced construction ensure durability, while the timeless form avoids short-lived trends. Carefully integrated details support daily functionality without adding visual complexity.
The bag offers three carrying options to extend its range of use. Long shoulder straps allow comfortable everyday carrying, integrated short handles sit flush within the bag’s edge for compact handling similar to a classic shopping bag, and an optional detachable shoulder strap enables hands-free use and greater comfort over longer distances or while cycling.
Tale was responsible for the overall product concept, defining the functional architecture and design language of the bag. Our work included product design, pattern development, and the sourcing of materials, webbings, and trims, with a focus on durability, manufacturability, and consistent quality.
Through a combination of product design, development, and strategic positioning, our contribution resulted in a distinctive, technically sound everyday bag that strengthens Arwole’s portfolio while supporting reliable and economically viable local production.

Visual Identity Refresh, 2025
For Schweizer Söhne, a traditional painting and plastering company based in Basel, we refined and streamlined the visual identity to ensure long-term recognition and consistency.
We simplified the existing brand elements to strengthen their recognizability and specified a revised color palette that ensures a coherent appearance across all color systems, from print to digital.
We also redefined the rules for combining the key elements—Wilhelm Tell illustration, typography, and colors—into a coherent and flexible identity system. To complement the updated look, we introduced a contemporary typeface and developed new slogans that reflect the brand’s values and regional character.
The result is a timeless yet distinctive identity that honors the company’s heritage while preparing it for future growth. Our work not only modernized the appearance of Schweizer Söhne, but also clarified its positioning and strengthened its emotional connection with both existing and new customers.

Oil Lamp, 2025
The Oil Lamp is conceived as a monolithic object for the home. Minimal in form, it brings together precision and high-quality materiality with the warmth and sensuality of an open flame.
Rather than exposing mechanics, the design focuses on experience. Light, surface, and evolving patina shape the object over time, creating a quiet, sensorial presence that changes with use.
Developed for Art du Temps, a watch and jewellery store in Biel, the Oil Lamp extends the brand’s fascination with precision, material quality, and crafted objects beyond timepieces. As part of Art du Temps’ own product range, it reflects a commitment to thoughtful design and Swiss-made products.
Tale led the entire development process together with the Art du Temps team, from concept and product design to sourcing, production support, quality control, branding, and packaging. The result is a timeless object that translates precision into atmosphere and experience.
