BIOGRAPHIES

------------------------------------------------

âbäke is a partnership of four graphic designers.
Patrick Lacey, Benjamin Reichen, Kajsa Stâhl and Maki Suzuki formed the association in July 2000, after graduating from the Royal College of Art, having accumulated a quarter of a century of design education. The obvious realisation that interesting content is a prerequisite to interesting design lead them to co-edit Sexymachinery, a self-published magazine, run their own music label with two french people (Kitsuné) and the organisation of projects involving cooking (with furniture designer Martino Gamper), dancing, music, amateur sport and reading. The creation of their own school has only been temporarily postponed because of a regular position at the Royal College of Art. They can be contacted by dialling +44 (0)20 7249 2380.
