Conceptual thinking
Holistic planning

Since 1999, brandherm + krumrey has been realizing customized projects with a flair for timelessness and conciseness from its offices in Cologne and Hamburg. Conceptual thinking in the sense of holistic planning is the top priority. A team of interior designers, architects and graphic designers ensures the implementation of individual design ideas.

We work for your success.

In order to guarantee continuity and mutual security in the work process, the interior designers always act as a team with short distances between the locations in Hamburg and Cologne.
