Monday the 22nd, August 2011
Nearly seven years have passed and much has changed since the inception of Cypher13.
Now we are two, Todd Berger and Lucian Föhr. Together, we have grown considerably - in principle, in thought, and in capacity - but not in number.
We have grown in practice.
We have chosen to pursue quality in all things - over quantity. This has come to define our craft and those with whom we wish to partner and to serve. We have chosen objectivity over subjectivity, accountability over bureaucracy, and personal responsibility over ambiguity.
And so, we have decided to close Cypher13 and to open a new design studio. We will usher in a new era of socially significant, lasting, far-reaching work.
We will strive to do better.
Goodbye Cypher13.
Sincerely,
Todd Berger
Lucian Föhr
Rainbow Magic (Design)
Upon receiving an invitation to produce work for Create Denver Week 2010 we immediately determined that an intervention within the creative space being assembled would be most appropriate. Sculptural rainbows immediately came to mind. Rainbows make everyone smile. We developed a simple 4' x 4', 1/4 rainbow concept based on traditional skateboard ramp design.
