Robert Palm

CEO and Designer

Robert has always been an entrepreneur and started his first company while he was still studying. Robert won his first design contest in 1990 with a visionary hybrid vehicle. With advertising and marketing as a starting point, Robert developed a career focused on corporate design, mainly brand management.
Many of the private banks or watch companies in Switzerland owe their corporate design to Robert. In the mid 90’s, Robert added web design to his array of services, always using the same method: finding the right people to suit his clients’ needs. In other words, Robert combines creative designer talents with rock solid project management.

Tomas Brødreskift

Designer and Digital Modeller

Tomas’ assignments are mostly linked to the sports goods industry, especially bicycle design. Since 2008 he turned to aircraft design with the development of the new P2 for Equator Aircraft. Completing and leading such projects has brought him a wide competence in many areas. From working on high end composite design with programs like Alias or Catia, to building prototypes quickly in order to make well researched ergonomic decisions, not to mention the marketing and economic factors. Tomas’ love for flying drives his motivation to improve on the whole flight experience. A good balance between the pragmatics of physics and the open world of art is key.
