Year Six at Studio Lenzing

It’s become a tradition of ours to do a yearly review as we wind down before a cozy winter break. It feels great to gather and reflect for the last weeks before closing doors for the holidays. We just turned six, and we are realising how extraordinary this season has been. Dive with us into the highlights of the past year.

Designing for impact

Over the past year, we’ve continued to do what we love most: designing experiences that both perform and delight. It’s been a blast to design along with visionaries and changemakers in different industries. From new architectures for data to new ways to unique real estate. From massive community platforms to platforms for professional niches. Brands. Products. Interactions. And above all, a shared appreciation for good design.

Introducing Studio Lenzing Ventures

Business today operates at a nerve-wracking pace, and to make a positive impact in such a fast-moving environment, we know agility and adaptability are a must. That’s why we are also transforming our practice to be an even closer partner to founders and teams, building hands-on with them, on the ground, as a venture design company. For that, we are creating a sister brand, Studio Lenzing Ventures, that is going to be rolling out in the coming months.

This decision is proving not only stimulating, but amazingly fruitful. We’ve been working as venture design partner for Justmatch for a year now, joining forces with the founding team to flesh out the idea and build both the brand and the product, bringing a fresh alternative to the stale talent-matching space. And results are already coming in.

Designing digital-first products in close collaboration with detail-obsessive teams is amazing, but once we switched founder mode on, we were poked to build our own ideas as well, so we made SLV our very own venture design playground. At this very moment Mure and Grod are on the pipeline, as the first two ventures where we design and build to bring our values to life, leading with design and intention.

Looking forward to 2025

In short, this has been a season for growth, especially of our ambitions and the types of projects we’re taking on. Six years in, we’re more excited than ever about what the future holds. Thank you for being part of this journey. Cheesy as it might sound, none of this would be possible without you all: an incredible team, great clients, and a supportive community.

For the year to come, we're committed to keep pushing for our best work, always with an eye on creating meaningful impact. Here's to creativity, collaboration, and growth. And here's to many more years of designing better interactions, together.
