clients + partners
Next to working mainly in the mountain sports and outdoor industry a few projects could be realized in the transportation segment and for medical technology. Clients are on the one hand established brands and companies and on the other hand start-ups asking for support in innovative approaches. The most projects shown above were realized by Benno Reichard before starting the own agency and are shown as a reference of the expertise of REICHARD design. Unfortunately the work in progress can’t be shown on the website yet.
