The duo see design as storytelling, wanting to create products that people understand but are still amazed by.

And Aleksej Iskos has various works included in collections of The Designmuseum Danmark, The State Art Council collection and the Icelandic Museum of Design.

"We see design as an art of storytelling. This story is normally quite complex, consisting of semantics, morphology, materiality, the technology of objects and many other elements. But the clearer your story is, the more likely people are to understand it. The more surprising you make your story, the more likely they are to remember it. And finally, the more you make people smile, the more likely they are to love it." - Iskos-Berlin
