Office is a project of Annemarie van den Berg and Sun Jung Hwang. They met for the first time in KABK.
Office started as their collaborative graduation project while their times in KABK. They want to work together not only because they are good friends but because they can share ideas very different in every single way. That makes them a perfect working partners. Main reason of working together is that they then more enjoy working for themselves. Office is an experimental space, sharing ideas, creation and discussion. And coffee and tea. In many places.

IK HEB GEEN BAAN! IK BEN ONTWERPER.
Als ontwerper worden we dagelijks geconfronteerd met de tijdelijke houdbaarheid van de pracht der dingen. De beleving van schoonheid is een golfbeweging die ons werk vergankelijk maakt. Wat mooi is, is tijdelijk. Iedere dag dienen we onszelf opnieuw te bewijzen. Een mooie taak!
Als oprichter van Things To Make And Do werkt hij als zelfstandig ontwerper in opdracht van publieke, zakelijke en culturele opdrachtgevers. Altijd van uit de gedachte dat vorm niet zonder inhoud kan.
