Design
is One.

Massimo Vignelli
Herwig Bischof and Johannes Gautier are bound by a collaboration that has lasted almost two decades. Each brings more than 20 years of experience in design, and the two complement each other in how they think and work. In 2021, the ventures of Johannes Gautier and Herwig Bischof merged to form Kvint.

How We Think


Timeless
Design

What we value most is design that follows no trend. Design is universal: the same thinking shapes a chair, a house or a logo. That is why we work across disciplines. Our strength lies in grasping the essential, getting to the point and finding new ways to make things real. We listen into things to find the form that lasts.


Reverse
Branding

For us, branding is a profound process that begins with finding identity and follows no template. Instead of inventing a brand in a brainstorming session, we look for the identity that is already there. Through listening and sensing, we uncover the core of a brand without bending it or putting on a mask. Often it is the unexpected, invisible elements that give an identity its strength. The result is inner clarity: who you are, who you are for and what fits you. And what does not.


Packaging
as Object

We see packaging not as a canvas for the latest graphics, but as a functional design object: the most important touchpoint with the brand. Invisible product qualities become tangible through texture, material and form. Every detail is a statement of attitude. We develop our prototypes ourselves, in our own workshop. As well as small series for the high-end segment.
