About Us

FLEX/design is an industrial product and packaging design studio.

We see today’s big challenges— like climate change and environmental degradation—as deeply connected issues that need bold, systemic change. Traditional approaches often fall short because they focus too much on analysis and not enough on creativity. That’s where design comes in. It helps make sense of complexity, brings people together and delivers fresh ideas for sustainable solutions. It’s not just about fixing problems—it’s about imagining and building a better future.
