Reframing Studio is an independent innovation agency with over 25 years of experience. We use our skills and expertise to shape future societies through design.
Reframing Studio was founded as a design and innovation consultancy in 1993. We began as a company that designed innovative products for industry. In the years our interest shifted to the role of design in major societal transformations in such diverse areas as healthcare, mobility, ecology and democracy. As a consequence, we moved away from designing for solely individual and commercial interests. We matured into a company that uses design to collectively reimagine alternative futures and responsibly effect change. Good solutions improve people’s lives, great solutions improve how society functions as a whole.
This is easier said than done. A society is an extremely complex system, full of interdependencies, and in constant flux. This means that the issues we deal with are often highly complex and intertwined. The Reframing method helps us to cope with the complexity needed to effectively contribute to meaningful societal change.
In 2016 the Reframing academy was launched. Our academy enables organisations and students to cope with future challenges and turn ambition into action.
Reframing Studio has remained a small design company with purpose. This allows us to react and move swiftly, directly and without adding excess overheads. All our reframers are involved in education, participating in juries and committees, organizing workshops and lectures. We take pride in creating personal relationships with our clients and keep ourselves available to them as much as possible.
We work within an ecosystem of like-minded organisations and companies that share a similar attitude towards innovation. This enables us to improvise and respond to opportunities as they arise while being able to keep quality high and perfect core competences. We also initiate and participate in collaborative networks to accelerate transitions.
