Downstairs is a multidisciplinary design studio founded in Amsterdam, now based in France.
We’ve been designing for more than 15 years and we want to share with you everything we learned along the way. We love what we do, working on projects we believe in, helping you achieve your goals, solving problems and bringing ideas to life. Simple, fuss-free and collaborative — just how we like it.
— Annie & Max

No bullshit
Allowing ourselves the gift of time

Putting humans at the core of the project

Being nice
Making the world a little bit better
We ask questions.
A lot. All the time.
Sweet or salty? Why do you care about your product?
What makes you feel alive?
We believe that you can never be too curious. Exploration is a major part of our work: like adding spices to a dish, the result just tastes better. We work with clients starting from the initial brand strategy phase to the design, art direction and final production of a project. As designers, we believe that we’re responsible for what we put into the world. We care deeply about the people, the process & the results of our projects.
