xilobis
xilobis takes a distinctly Swiss approach to furniture design: maximum functionality with a minimum of material. The same principle informs not only its products, but the language and communication of the brand itself.

GOOD COMMUNICATION TELLS MORE THAN THE STORY OF A PRODUCT — IT ALSO SPEAKS TO THE WAY WE LIVE AND THE SPACES WE INHABIT.


Strategic communications, editorial work and digital marketing in close dialogue with design and brand identity.


Putting design into words
Over several years, I worked closely with Mario Bissegger, Swiss designer and co-founder of xilobis, shaping the brand’s communications across strategy, editorial and digital. I developed and wrote multilingual content, edited copy for a range of media and formats, and oversaw digital communications and online marketing.
The focus was never simply on the product, but on the thinking behind it: a modular furniture system designed to adapt to different ways of living, use materials sparingly, and bring together design, functionality and sustainability. Finding a clear and distinctive language for this philosophy was central to my work.
My understanding of the brand was also shaped by direct experience of the product. Alongside my strategic and editorial work, I advised customers and worked in sales. The combination of first-hand product knowledge and direct contact with customers gave me a nuanced understanding of how design is perceived, explained and communicated.
Over time, brand strategy, editorial work and digital communications became part of a continuous process — from understanding the thinking behind a product to finding the language that brings it to an audience.
