ISKOS—BERLIN Design is a partnership of Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos. The company works within the fields of industrial, furniture and graphic design. The firm was only established in late 2010, but Boris and Aleksej have been working together for a number of years. In 1987, Boris co-founded Komplot Design, where Aleksej was employed as an assistant for more than 11 years. This long and fruitful cooperation has allowed them to develop a shared philosophy of design.

During Jeremy Berlin's last trip to the wilds of eastern West Virginia to meet the homeowners of Tree House, his burgeoning interest in prefab got an arcadian short in the arm. It also prompted the Washington DC-based writer and editor to rethink his recent housing decision: Was taking up residence in a Fin-de-siècle Beaux Arts building the right one? The jury's still out.

IONDESIGN is the studio for 3-dimensional design, founded by Anja Götz and Christoph Fleckenstein in 1993 in Berlin. Today 7 designers and architects are working for clients in Germany and Europe. Our work spreads across disciplines and connects interior, graphic / web, product, packaging, public, exhibition design and architecture. "The content determines the form" is the motto. IONDESIGN aims at the utility of the product and not the formalistic style. In close collaboration with the client and other project participants the base is defined and is used as the focal point of our work. During the intensive development period, all angles and problems are discussed and viewed with the aim to find finally the perfect solution. Our aim is to find a global and all-embracing solution instead of just designing one single product. By following our motto, that utility leads the design process, we are able to create successful and useful objects, which include all ergonomic, technical, economical and aesthetic angles. We call it "The ION-Way of Thinking". There are no borders between the disciplines. Our work has been exhibited on a national and international level and several projects received numerous national and international awards, e.g. RedDot, iF and nominations for the "Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany", the GOOD DESIGN Award of Japan, the Good Design Award of the Chicago Athenaeum and the inclusion in the permanent collection of the renowned DESIGN MUSEUM in London.
