Next week we expect Biestmilch in its new dressing. Currently chewies, booster and capsules are running over the production line. For us it is the dawn of a new biestmilch era 
… We are very curious to see how our customers and followers will receive the new packaging and whether they will accept it. (more…)
This time without blood, sweat and tears 
On the weekend we decided to free the BIEST from its destiny as a logo captive. It is now free to move through the biestmilch universe that is soon about to be relaunched. Currently, an exciting process of re-definition, re-invention and redesign takes place.
Biest hiding in the grass or left behind, who knows!
And again a post on design. This time it is David Carson giving a quite amusing and easy-going talk at TED’s. I think it is a nice round-up of the design series. We are currently redesigning the biestmilch universe including the packaging. Therefore the blog became so design-prone. It won’t take long anymore and we shall allow you a glimpse on the new biestmilch stuff.
David Carson’s boundary-breaking typography in the 1990s, in Ray Gun magazine and other pop-cult books, ushered in a new vision of type and page design — quite simply, breaking the traditional mold of type on a page and demanding fresh eyes from the reader.
It is a fascinating talk about design, passion, rebelion, ignorance and flaws that goes very much in line with Henry Ford and Steve Jobs, only the wording is so very different that some of you I’m sure may think I’m weird to think that they have got something in common. Anyhow, I believe that is the case.
One more post on design which I love very much. I post it for you Elisabeth, the Great
With a career that fuses rock and roll, corporate identity creation, and impressionistic geography, Paula Scher is a master conjurer of the instantly familiar.
The Ponterosa, our favorite »Beisel« (eatery) in Hard by the lake. (Lake of Constance, Austria). A harmonic place all over, from the outside as you can see here and from the inside. You have to test it when come there …
Ponterosa before the arrival of the crowd
After I was getting unhappily involved into the controversial hollowness of branding listening to Rob Forbes feels like a relief. His photos show the patterns of beauty in real life, in the public space far away from the dogma of recognition, yet so familiar, abstract and touchable in the same time.
Rob Forbes founded Design Within Reach, the furniture company that brought high design to the general public.
I just got a phone call from home that Stefan got elected one of the ten best designers worldwide, wow! Those who pass by here on a regular basis know that I love to drop by at TED talks, so I just did and I found Stefan talking there. It is a good occasion to post his talk, I think. The Sagmeister and our family have always been close. Stefan is the youngest Sagmeister son, and I am 7 years older, I have always been out with the older guys, of course … For those who don’t know who the heck this guy is: Stefan was born in Bregenz, Austria in 1962. Renowned for the album covers he created for the likes of Lou Reed, Talking Heads and the Rolling Stones, New York City-dwelling designer Stefan Sagmeister invariably has a slightly different way of looking at things, quoted from the TED page.
