Gräng Studios creates a useful, precious and timeless material.
We do images for textiles, paper and digital - primarily patterns, but also illustrations, concepts, typography and graphic design.
Gräng Studios creates by hand but process digitally. Focusing on the small, visualizing the unpredictable, the not obvious. A series of pictures lies close to our hearts, a “collection-thinking”, a balance.
Our different backgrounds adds to the project. On one hand, we give the fashion aspect focusing on trend / function, on the other hand a genuine craftsmanship with a thorough material knowledge and reflection. The project flows between us. We meet in the passion for coincidence with a curiosity to explore.
Creation takes place in an empty space dedicated to the customer, from scratch. We load the work with our time, skills and inspiration – this of course shows in the result. Something unique is created. Gräng Studios works side by side with the customer to drive the process in the right direction and tailor a result for the specific needs. We all believe in a sustainable approach and the importance of the craft.
Gräng, from the French GRAIN, is a word that describes surface structures. The rough, uneven or granular. The resistance. It's not smooth, refined and expected.
