DESCRIPTION:As one of Europe’s most fearless design studios\, Berlin’s
  Hort has consistently bridged the gap between aggressively contemporary a
 esthetics and big name clients. From glitchy animated GIFs to elegant hand
 -drawn illustrations\, Hort’s aesthetics run the gamut\, displaying an u
 nflinching dedication to formal and conceptual play. In fact\, Hort transl
 ates as “after-school care club” in German\, and this spirit inhabits 
 the multidisciplinary studio which founder Eike König refers to as a “p
 layground for creative people.” With an early focus on record sleeve des
 ign and illustration\, Hort’s output has come to span all genres and inc
 ludes work for clients such as Nike\, Universal Music\, the New York Times
 \, Wallpaper\, Volkswagon\, IBM\, and Playboy magazine. Hort was named Ger
 many’s Visual Leader of 2011 by the Lead Academy. Recently\, the studio 
 was presented the unenviable task of rebranding the Bauhaus Dessau Foundat
 ion\, including the original signage on Gropius’ famous building. In add
 ition to running Hort\, König teaches graphic design and illustration at 
 the HfG University of Arts\, Offenbach\, and travels the world conducting 
 workshops and lectures. In conjunction with Insights\, Hort will create a 
 work specifically designed for the Walker website.
