As designers and craftsmen, we know that people are always looking for beautiful things that are practical and durable at the same time. This applies in particular to the communication of a company and its brand.

At tyyp, we make paper products by hand. The vast majority of work steps are completed without the support of large machines. There are good reasons for this: quality craftsmanship and the ability to produce small runs of beautiful design products.

Our specially developed module system for materials allows us to manufacture the products quickly. Many parts are used in the same way for different products and are thus prepared in stock. This enables us to offer design products at fair prices.

If it does happen again, we work closely with Berlin workshops for people with disabilities.

Founded typ by Christoph Andrews, himself a native Berliner and product designer. The name tyyp derives from the

"Typography

“ and the English word

„type

“ away. The choice of this name turned out to be apt, because typography traditionally refers to the art and craft of printing and today to the design process with fonts, images and graphic elements. And the English word

„type

“ means font and also brings typhas many levels of meaning.
