Question: What is coquine![design]?

coquine! (fem) French for scoundrel, naughty girl. Should be whispered in a woman’s ear, in the right moment…

While not necessarily in a whispering tone, design is all about communication. Understanding the connection between the designer, the client, the product and the world around us (you might call it ‘conspiracy’) is essential. As the creative process determines the result, coquine![design] is not just another design label, but a rather new approach to design in general. With surprising results…

Who we are not: Sometimes it’s easy. When you find the name of the designer on the door, you pretty much know what you get…

Who we are: When you come through our door you will not just find one style but a whole new universe of design. You will find a team of friendly, passionate, slightly crazy, talented, enthusiastic and highly motivated individuals sharing the same idea of what design is all about. And if you are willing to trust your dreams to these people, we promise you will always find much more than you ever imagined.

Christian established the philosophy of coquine![design] in the second semester of studying industrial design in Munich, when he decided to keep the logo / logotype he developed for a fictional boutique (specialized on lingerie) for his future design studio.

Since then he has worked for a few renowned yacht design offices, such as Evan Marshall (London, United Kingdom), newcruise Yacht Projects & Design (Hamburg, Palma de Mallorca), Ken Freivokh Design (Hampshire, United Kingdom) and most recently Marc Newson (London, United Kingdom) and applied his creativity to practically everything from yachts to cars, graphic design, architecture, film, photography and cooking.


Ana abandoned a promising career as a telecommunication engineer working in IT for one of Brazil’s first mobile phone networks when she married a certain scoundrel (shown above) and moved to Europe.
Apart from her own creativity (the existence of which she usually denies), her skills include the ability of staying organized amidst the usual chaos of a creative environment, a good eye for design trends and being a very fast and efficient researcher.
