BetweenHummus,Falafel,andDesign–DemodernatOFFFinTelAviv
Everything reflects – true to the motto of OFFF TVL 2017, Giulia, Luis, and Lisa Marleen from our Cologne team set off for Israel to find enlightenment – not because they followed the Star of Bethlehem, but because they wanted to be inspired at the Design Festival. It wasn't just about the conference and cool innovations, but also about getting to know the extraordinary country and its culture, the city, and especially the people behind this unique festival. From self-designed drinks to falafel to self-labeled beer – the three tasted, absorbed, and above all, enjoyed.

International Design Studios
The Mill - the mill grinds unceasingly
Academy Award winner The Mill is the world's first fully digital end-to-end VFX studio. Impressive is The Mill BLACKBIRD: A car that can take on the appearance and driving behavior of any other vehicle. The Blackbird is equipped with a 3-D laser scanner and HDR cameras that continuously examine the surroundings and interior. In post-production, the chassis and cockpit of any car can be applied to the Blackbird using CGI technology.
Steve Simpson - in the business for 30 years
Steve Simpson from Ireland has been known for 30 years for his illustrative packaging design, extraordinary characters, and exceptionally illustrated barcodes. His work for the #ROADtoIMM17 campaign was impressive. He virtually documented the trip from Munich to Westport, Ireland in the form of diary entries on a real Mini.
B-REEL - #humanzhouseparty
As a Swedish creative agency, B-REEL develops and creates expressive experiences through innovative storytelling, new technologies, entertainment, and products. We found their ideas for the launch of the new Gorillaz album particularly cool. Together with the band, they developed a mixed-reality mobile app that allowed fans to experience the world of Murdoch and Co. almost firsthand through VR, AR, and 360° experiences and listen to the album at a very special location before its release.
STUDIO FURIOUS – shake your handbag, baby
The Graphic Design & Art Direction studio from Paris is known for its colorful, surreal, and fun scenes and perfectly integrates objects from design, culture, fashion, food & architecture.
Demodern visiting friends
WIX studios
Fortunately, Lisa Marleen, Luis, and Giulia had their Demodern backpacks (our non-binding recommendation - get one) with them and were approached by the company that was one of the main sponsors of OFFF Tel Aviv. WIX studios – a Tel Aviv-based company that offers an online website building platform. The WIX design team is one of the largest in-house design studios in Israel and developed the teaser for the OFFF in Tel Aviv.
Our team was invited to visit the studios in the port of Tel Aviv and was thrilled by the open offices, the oversized art on the walls (Artists: https://brokenfingaz.com/works) and especially the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Who wouldn't want to lunch like that?
