Products shape brands. We design both.
FOND is a Swiss design studio. We turn strategy into products and brands into tangible experiences.

Nothing but music
For Zeiler Audio, we designed two loudspeakers around a simple idea: remove everything that distracts from the music. A single coaxial driver, precise proportions and deep piano lacquer define a deliberately purist presence.

They asked us to develop their brand design and art direct all their communication assets. Through our holistic approach, we created an Earth-positive narrative that blends their Swiss industrial roots with a global ambition to supply footwear manufacturers worldwide with ecological soles and manufacturing solutions.

We help ambitious brands create products that people value, remember and choose. Read about how we do, what we do.

Here, all elements from the controls to the smallest functional details inside the enclosure have also been formally defined. In addition to typical Swiss design maxims such as objectivity and formal timelessness, we consequently designed for manufacturing to achieve an aesthetic and consistent design.
