Obby&Jappari on how personal projects and working after hours informed their 'multidimensional' style

Obby&Jappari is a Frankfurt-based studio that’s created ‘multidimensional’ work for some of the world’s largest and most innovative companies, including Apple, Nike and Under Armour. We caught up with them to find out about their background, design approach and more. EM: How did you the three of you come together to form the studio? O&J: Our studio Obby & Jappari is based in Frankfurt, Germany. The story of our studio begins with two of the founders, Obby (Marcel) and Jappari (Wacho). They were both living in different cities in Germany. Jappari is originally from Georgia, Obby is from Germany. They both had jobs which had nothing to do with design and started designing after hours (Obby did that at night). They found out about each other’s work on social media where they started to collaborate. Since the cooperation worked so well, they have continued working together since then.
