Frankfurt Central Station is a place where different people, cultures and lifestyles come together. It connects and brings together people who share the moment of traveling/staying. We focus on the diversity of the station and its surroundings and the associated contrasts in this context. We build a bridge between architectural impressions and neighborhood heart-throb moments, which can be just as colorful as the station and its surroundings.

Schmidt & Pütz and NoPink Studio commissioned us to create the graphic wall and area concept for the B-level of the new building at Frankfurt Central Station. For the European Championship 2024, the construction site walls and store facades were designed as a temporary and modular system in which individual elements can be easily exchanged and reshaped.
Strikingly colorful, color-blocking designed surfaces are interspersed with b/w street art photographs and illustrations. Frankfurt dialect as a graphic pattern repetition attracts attention and positive local pride. A small narrative layer about Frankfurt accompanies the visitor through the presentation and guides him or her on the journey. The photographs mainly highlight the urban context, whereas the illustrations I designed show interpersonal moments and excerpts of Frankfurt life using three different styles.
The entire presentation is planned as a temporary concept and will no longer be on display once the construction work on the B-level has been completed.
