Uniplan

Uniplan is an independent brand experience agency that began in Cologne in 1960, when founder Hans Brühe left his job to build television sets and stadium camera towers. The company went on to pioneer modular trade-fair stands for hire and took its current name in 1970, a contraction of ‘universal’ and ‘planned’.

Still headquartered in Cologne and now led by the founder’s son Christian Zimmermann as CEO and owner, the agency runs eight offices — Basel, Beijing, Cologne, Dubai, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Kerpen and Shanghai — and covers strategy, creative, design, engineering, production and execution in a concept-to-completion approach that blends physical and digital space. Recent projects include Hyundai at CES 2024, the Franke global spatial identity, Kohler at Kitchen & Bath China and Trip.com at Singapore Changi Airport.
