Since 1993 Boy Bastiaens and Albert Kiefer join forces on an irregular basis in mainly new media and technology related projects. Flagged, eversince, by the nonsensical name StormHand which distinguishes these collaborative projects from their personal assignments. Both designers work together on joint projects directly from out their own studio’s through the internet, which goes quite well as they have been doing this for nearly two decades.
Today www.stormhand.com is the name of the website that features a selection of their team-up work as well as individual projects of both designers.
