A Studio Vibrant with Branded Energy
RADIO 1
Tuning Space to Radio 1’s Voice
In 2006, Tjep. collaborated with KesselsKramer to redesign the Radio 1 studios in the NOS headquarters, Hilversum, crafting a dynamic hub for the Netherlands’ all-talk public broadcaster. KesselsKramer shaped the bold “1” identity, while Tjep.’s interior design brought it to life, creating a space that hums with conversational energy and celebrates the station’s narrative core.
The “1” as Sculptural Seating
KesselsKramer’s iconic “1” logo transforms into oversized benches, crafted from smooth wood with cushioned tops. These sculptural seats anchor studio corners, turning the branding into a tactile, communal element that invites hosts and guests to connect in Radio 1’s conversational spirit.
Monumental “1” as Radio Dial
The “1” scales up into a striking wall-mounted radio dial, its sleek lines and circular accents evoking vintage broadcast consoles. With integrated LED lighting, this bold feature illuminates live recordings, framing discussions with visual impact and reinforcing Radio 1’s commanding presence.
Abstract Radio Lounge for Guest Comfort
A sprawling lounge, shaped as an abstract radio with curved edges and dial-like details, serves as a cozy haven for guests. Upholstered in warm tones, this inviting centerpiece blends KesselsKramer’s branding with Tjep.’s functional elegance, fostering relaxed pre-broadcast moments that echo Radio 1’s talkative soul.<grok:render type="render_inline_citation"> 0</grok:render>
Tjep.’s Synergy with KesselsKramer’s Vision
Led by Frank Tjepkema and Janneke Hooymans, Tjep.’s design merges KesselsKramer’s bold identity with spatial ingenuity, echoing the layered wit of Bling Bling and the transformative forms of Oogst. It crafts a studio where Radio 1’s voice resonates through every curve and contour.
