Aakk Forever — Adam Turecek, Kristina Ambrozova (Czech Republic)
“There is definitely a Czech design style – its is characterized by excellent typography, a sense of humor and the courage to experiement.”
Aakk Forever consists of its two founders, Adam Turecek and Kristina Ambrozova, the former being in charge of product design and Ambrozova more on the graphic side of things. The studio name originates from their SMS signature, but when they tried to use it as domain name, they found that Aakk was already taken, so they decided to add the word Forever.
