13&9 The Soul of Design – VIDEO (01:30)

The video is part of an overall concept for 13&9 Design that revolves around the SOUL OF DESIGN itself. Studio Superplus captured the contrasts of 13&9 Design and presented them timelessly in the video, reducing the broad product range to the very core of any design, namely points, lines and surfaces. Even the performance of dancers as a neutral projection surface – representing the idea (and soul) of the designer – stems from the history of 13&9. Studio Superplus knew early on that instead of taking the usual approach of relying on post-production techniques, we wanted to work with typography, graphic design and live, on-set animations. As a result, creating these projections and carrying out the tests and rehearsals was the most important and time-consuming part of the collaboration after the concept phase. The video was filmed in one day in a studio with minimal basic lighting and a powerful digital projector. The projections were adapted and edited on set. Moreover, the video pays homage to great thinkers such as Walt Whitman, Thomas Moore and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose thoughts on the human soul are displayed as projected extracts in the video. 13&9 The Soul of Design was launched on May 17, 2013 at the Wanted Design in New York.
