Benjamin Reichen
My background
I am part of Åbäke, a collective of four graphic designers. Patrick Lacey is from the UK, Kajsa Stahl from Sweden, Benjamin Reichen and Maki Suzuki from France who decided to work together in the summer of 2000.
My expertise
Their physical work includes posters, CD and record designs, furniture, and installations in art galleries and public spaces. Much of their work concentrates on the social aspect of design and the strength that collaboration can bring to a project. Events often involve (in no particular order) film, dancing, eating and cooking and teaching.
My focus
They are also singers, painters, photographers, members of bands, furniture designers, curators, fashion designers, DJs and teachers.
