INTRODUCTION TO QuA

QuA is a design studio based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We have 22 years of experience specialising in 'Brand Environment Design'.

Brand Environment Design (BED) makes a brand visible on all levels. Designing from the core disciplines: architecture, interior architecture, graphic design and multimedia, QuA develops all activities that support clients in building and maintaining an effective and consistent brand image.

An inspiring store or office space, a clear brochure, an accessible web site, a product you can sell. One brand, one feeling, realized by multiple disciplines in a single brand team.

BED is the proces we have developed to manage integrated communication strategies and design branded items. It relies on close cooperation with our clients, to ensure that all items, whatever the scale, meet the clients expectations.

 
From website to wineglass, the level of quality remains the same, and all items relate to the original concept.
 

We have a network of partners that enable us to complete projects in the areas of architecture, interior design, retail, packaging, graphic design, website design and implimentation, video and others. What is important is that all of these elements have the same point of origin based on your strategy.This working method allows us to work for a wide variety of clients.


Over the years we have worked for clients ranging from heavy industry to high fashion.
 

Depending on the scale of the project, workshops are held to visualise the core values and offerings of the project. These key messages form the core of the concept. This is the origin to which all future material relates. It defines the tone of voice for copy-writers, to the construction materials for architects.

A process of development and feedback leads to improvements in the design and closer involvement for clients. Proposals are presented, along with print or material samples, colour schemes and alternative solutions.


 
 
 

Your reputation is our reputation, and we take care to check the quality of the work that is produced, attend production meetings, and generally keep things running smoothly.


 
 
 

“The proof of the pudding is in the eating”. Visits and samples of our work can be arranged, and it may also be helpful to talk to one of our clients who has completed a project of similar scale. Our goal is to make the design process as smooth as possible, with strong client involvement, to make things on time and on budget of which everybody involved can feel proud. Above all, we aim for long term relationships, and a nice quality of life.
