This website is edited by precious, a design studio from Hamburg.

Besides showcasing our work-for-hire projects, this site also serves as a forum for our thoughts on all those things that interest us (design, music, art, the Interweb, Winona Ryder etc.) and an evolving platform to foster creative experiments and explore new business ideas.
What we do

precious: Our design studio, with output ranging from user interfaces to record sleeves, from websites to visual identities – for small businesses, multinational brands, public administrations and rockbands.
More from us

2nd rec: Our record label, established in 2001. As of today we have released over 30 records, from electronica to hiphop to indierock and in-between.

Future Audio Workshop: When some Irish and French fellows came to our offices and asked if we wanted to start a new audio software company with them, how could we say no? Our first product, a software synthesizer called Circle, is available now.
