Fair stands at the IAA have grown into elaborate statements on brand identity. At the IAA 2003, the Audi stand
proved to be one of the most daring and bold. The concept and design of the Audi stand has been the result of a
team closely working together on A-fairs for 2 years: a joint effort of the Amsterdam based communication designers of
Totems and their talented AV production partner Metropolisfilm. Their work for Audi - the premier Motor Show

series Paris/Detroit/Geneva/Frankfurt shows a continuous developement of electrifying graphics and audio
visual communication.

At the heart of the communication a film on ‘Technology’ by a brand that was founded by an engineer, driven by

Be part of TUI!
TUI AG corporate presentation, ITB Berlin 2003
From a distance the image is inviting, seductive.
Inside visitors find perfect oppurtunities to meet, talk and exchange
stories everywhere.
Browsing through a field of stories from all around the world.
They are countless. Some you might remember.
They will inspire to go out yourself, to meet people, explore.
Amazing, fluffy clouds fly by when your airline connects you from the one world with the
other. Fast and direct. Stewardesses come around, gentle and friendly. They are supplying
refreshments and little gifts when you’re enjoying the comfortable airline seat.
Distances grow shorter, possibilities increase. Still there are those things that you only
do when you’re on holidays. And all of a sudden she’s there, your local dive instructor. Or
a sailinstructor, remembering you of that guy that taught you how to do it. All those joys.
A hotel terrace offers the oppertunity to think about them some more. At the same time
stunning landscapes come by, paradise locations on wide plasma screens when having a
drink and a chat.

VROM/DC The Expo 2005 Pavilion of the Netherlands
200 5 E x p o Signed by Totems.
Designing the Expo 2005 Pavilion of the Netherlands has been a very special project for us.
For a period of 9 months it never ceased to appeal to what we do best: To tell beautifully rich
stories through a multidisciplinary mix of architecture, film and graphics.
In the newspapers the pavilion has been characterized as an upfront combination of classic
Dutch icons and state of the art media technology. The theme: Holland, Land of Water.
The classic king-size Delft Blue tile motives on the outside façade tell stories of their own.
Inside, the surrounding walls feature a panorama of Amsterdam-style facades - the largest
‘Delft Blue’ ceramic tile tableau ever produced.
When the lights are dimmed, the square pond at the center of the pavilion changes into a
media surface of cinema screen size. 4 HD projectors are combined to create a single
image of stunning clarity and brilliance. What unfolds is an experience of the Netherlands
as a country made of water, powerfully playing with different perspectives, showing different
needs on different levels.
With an average of 4000 visitors per day and enthousiastic reactions of both the Dutch
Prince Willem Alexander, his wife Máxima, Prince Akishino from Japan and his wife
Princess Kiko, the pavilion is one of the very fine attractions of Expo 2005.
Yours sincerely, the Totems team.

‘ Dit is het Nieuws’
P aviljoen Hollandse Nieuwe voor Beeld en Geluid Exper ience
200 2 A u d i P a r i s
200 2 Z ö l l n e r Vrijdagavond 1 december j.l. heeft Koningin Beatrix het nieuwe gebouw van het Neder-
lands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid geopend. Het gebouw huisvest de Beeld en Geluid
2003 Audi awards
experience, een museum waar bezoekers de wereld van televisie, radio, film en muziek
2003 Audi Geneva zelf kunnen ontdekken. De bezoeker ondervindt er aan den lijve hoe zijn of haar wereld,
bewust en onbewust, wordt gekleurd door de media. De 15 paviljoens hebben titels als
200 3 A u d i I A A
‘Sterrenshow’, ‘De betovering’, ‘Kijkbuiskinderen’, ‘De wereld: een dorp’ en ‘Dit is het
200 3 G a s u n i e nieuws’.
200 3 T U I
Doel van ‘Dit is het nieuws’ is de urgentie en de totstandkoming van het nieuws voelbaar
200 4 N Y F maken. Het paviljoen heeft de vormgeving van een mobiele uitzendstraat en bestaat uit
interactieve doe-oplossingen om te spelen met geluid- en beeldfragmenten uit het col-
200 4 R o t o F r a n k
lectieve geheugen. De onderwerpen gaan over de impact van nieuws op ons wereldbeeld
200 5 E x p o en over de totstandkoming van nieuws- en actualiteitenprogramma’s. In de gouden doos
krijgt de bezoeker een overzicht van de hoogtepunten van uit de geschiedenis van nieuws
200 6 Beeld & Geluid
en sport. De bezoeker leert er over de techniek van het nieuws maken en het keuzepro-
200 6 X X b y M e x x ces waarin bepaald wordt wat er wordt uitgezonden. Ook mag de bezoeker er zelf het
journaal samenstellen én presenteren.
200 6 R A G S / R F G
200 7 E n j o y Bij ‘Dit is het nieuws’ valt op hoe de ontwerpers van Hollandse Nieuwe met interactieve
doe-oplossingen verleiden tot spelen en leren. Die opvatting typeert de visie van het
200 7 C a m e l s t o r e
ontwerpbureau, dat in het verleden tentoonstellingen ontwikkeld en ontworpen heeft voor
Nemo, de Nederlandse Designprijzen, het Van Gogh Museum en het hoofdkantoor van de
AVRO, KRO en NCRV.
Met de opening van het nieuwe Beeld en Geluid gebouw en de gelijknamige Experience
voor het grote publiek is Nederland een nieuwe culturele attractie rijker. Beeld en Geluid
verwacht minstens 150.000 bezoekers per jaar.

‘ Just befor e’
200 2 A u d i P a r i s
200 2 Z ö l l n e r Op de Kalverstraat in Amsterdam is een XX by Mexx winkel geopend. De winkel is na
Antwerpen (Kammenstraat, september 2005) en London (Oxford Street, oktober 2005)
2003 Audi awards
de derde winkel die is uitgevoerd volgens het nieuwe XX by Mexx retailconcept.
2003 Audi Geneva
Het concept is ontworpen door het team Hollandse Nieuwe/Bearandbunny en is gein-
200 3 A u d i I A A
spireerd op de wereld van jonge vrouwen, van vriendinnen onder elkaar. In het concept
200 3 G a s u n i e wordt boudoir-gevoel gecombineerd met de chaos van een backstage kleedkamer tijdens
een modeshow.
200 3 T U I
200 4 N Y F Hollandse Nieuwe/Bearandbunny heeft voor XX by Mexx een wereld gecreëerd die non-
corporate, lokaal en onnavolgbaar is. Die wereld is gevangen in het concept ‘Just before’.
200 4 R o t o F r a n k
‘Just before’ is het keuzemoment voordat je uitgaat, gaat shoppen, gaat dansen, uit eten
200 5 E x p o gaat, kortom het moment waarop jij bepaalt hoe de wereld jou gaat zien. Als je de kamer
inkijkt van een jonge vrouw die in dit keuzemoment zit, kan je het volgende aan treffen:
200 6 Beeld en Geluid
samen met vriendinnen kleding uit de kast trekken, nieuwe combinaties proberen, kijken,
200 6 X X b y M e x x overleggen, opmaken, weghangen op stoelen, op het bed of aan de kastrand. Wat de één
afkeurt, wil de ander lenen. Het resultaat: kleding “all over the place”.
200 6 R A G S / R F G
200 7 E n j o y In tegenstelling tot de traditionele paskamers achterin de winkel hebben de XX by Mexx
winkels een centraal gelegen paskamergebied. Meiden kunnen er mixen en matchen met
200 7 C a m e l s t o r e
andere stijlen die zij her en der uit de winkel pakken. Buiten het paskamergebied hangt
kleding aan een door de winkel slingerende rails. Aan de rails hangen homemade pola-
roids (met voorbeelden van setjes) en ‘charms’, in goud uitgevoerde bedels. De meubels
hebben een klassieke vormentaal maar zijn uitgevoerd met onverwachte afwerkingen
zoals rubbercoatings en parelkleurige lak. De graphics zullen in de tijd groeien en van
thema veranderen; altijd zal er een relatie zijn met de wereld van de XX by Mexx klant.
Locatie: Kalverstraat 145 te Amsterdam / Oppervlak: 220 m2 / Opening: 20 april 2006

R AGS / RFG shop-in-shop
D o it yourself!
200 2 A u d i P a r i s
200 2 Z ö l l n e r The RAGS/RFG shop-in-shop concept provides a space within existing department stores
for freedom of expression, non conformity and individual style. A place that reflects the
2003 Audi awards
creativity, curiosity and energy of kids. An integral part of the shop-in-shop concept is the
2003 Audi Geneva ability for it to be customized with flyers, stickers and posters to echo the changing local
qualities of whatever city it is located in.
200 3 A u d i I A A
200 3 G a s u n i e RAGS Free Spaces can be visited in Galeries Lafayette (Paris), Bijenkorf (Amsterdam,
Rotterdam) and The Hilt showrooms in Amsterdam (head office) and Hamburg. Rollout of
200 3 T U I
the Rags Free space shop-in-shop concept in department stores throughout Europe will
200 4 N Y F continue in 2007.
200 4 R o t o F r a n k
For information and inspiration on the creation of Free Space the RAGS shop-in-shop
200 5 E x p o book was created. The book contains detailed descriptions of each individual element
that belongs to the RAGS/RFG shop-in-shop system, suggestions as to how to use the
200 6 Beeld en Geluid
elements to suit different situations and images of the actual system in use.
200 6 X X b y M e x x
The simple materials and basic methods of construction reinforces a dynamic DIY atti-
200 6 R A G S / R F G
tude. The furniture is quick to assemble and can be easily arranged to suit different loca-
200 7 E n j o y tions and situations, whether the system is freestanding or wall mounted.
200 7 C a m e l s t o r e
Each element in the shop in shop system is designed to have a unique appearance each
time it is made. All stickers – taken from the RAGS shop-in-shop book - are part of the
current seasonal brand imagery, and therefore change over time adding a dynamic and
graphic nature to the system.
