"One can tell from the way they work together that they proceed in binary fashion, like computers do, except their binary process is more complex. It combines the talent of the inventor, the scientist, the technician with that of the artist and so pushes the images and words they play with into constantly new and surprising areas."

"Köbi and Marina Wiesendanger, entrepreneurs who thrive on risk." Natalia Aspesi in the "Catalogo della Neomerce "Il Design dell'Invenzione e dell'Estasi Artificiale, Triennale di Milano, 1984.

"When we design our objects, we never forget that we are actually playing a game." MW

AVANT DE DORMIR is a creative team of two people who design and produce ideas.

Their philosophy is:
Whatever we do always has to Be new. Never seen before.
Be light-hearted and serious at the same time: like a beautiful game.
Appeal to the spectator's irony, but only in the best sense of the term.
Make us forget the state of the material and all its inherent difficulties.

All designs shown here have been produced.
