studio klv – Studio

Happy 20th anniversary, studio klv!

We look back on 20 eventful years. Founded in Berlin in 2002, studio klv rapidly developed into a highly sought-after creative agency. We are grateful for the many exciting projects we could implement over the years: national and international exhibitions, museums and science centers, brand showcases and experiential venues – every single project is unique and represents something special to us. Highlighting the sensory, interactive experiences intrinsic to our customers’ varied themes and rendering the latter accessible to the general public are our top priorities. The enthusiasm instilled in visitors both young and old is our greatest reward and source of motivation.

We look forward to the next 20 years!
