MIKS

MIKS is a Hamburg studio for spatial brand communication, working across exhibition design, retail and showroom interiors, office and workspace fit-outs, roadshows and pop-up formats. Around twenty people — architects, interior designers, project managers and brand consultants — work as one team, on temporary architecture for trade fairs as well as fixed installations for shops, showrooms, restaurants and offices.

The practice has collected more than 25 international awards since 2001, mostly for projects with mid-sized budgets; recent recognitions include an iF Design Award for the Palmberg stand at Orgatec, a 1,180-square-metre build, and one for MIKS’s own presence at OMR, 42 square metres assembled in nine days. Design, technical planning, realisation and logistics stay in-house, so a project runs from first concept to site handover with the studio’s own team.
