From concept to construct
At CASS, we understand that successful products aren’t just great to look at,
they should also be a joy to use and easily translatable from page to stage,
from concept to construct.
Our mission is to give manufacturers, publishers and printers creative, artful
and simple solutions to turn ideas into impeccably and efficiently made products.

CASS marries the tactility and sensitivity of the arts and crafts approach with knowledge of finishing and fabrication technologies to help you make innovative and meaningful products that align with your brand or purpose. Using free hand sketches and models to clearly demonstrate the workability of a design, CASS helps you circumvent conceptual blind spots by testing how your ideas will hold up in a wider, real-life context.
Acting as a conduit between businesses and brands, suppliers and end-users, CASS provides design solutions that go beyond aesthetics and functionality to manufacturability, usability and sustainability. Combining creativity with attention to detail, systems thinking, and technical and production know-how, CASS’s methodology takes into account feasibility, scalability, efficiency, serialisation and tooling to ensure confident and successful launches.

Introducing a brand-new children's book format by CASS!
Penguin Junior Germany has just released two exciting children's books in August 2023, "Mein Zauberklappen-Buch - Mach mit auf dem Bauernhof!" and "Mein Zauberklappen-Buch - Mach mit in der Autowerkstatt!" These books are the result of a collaboration between CASS and Penguin Junior.
The outcome? These innovative books are both engaging and budget-friendly, making them stand out in the market.
A proud moment with arsEdition!
Children's shaped Books "Auf zur Baustelle!"
and "Auf zum Einsatz!" by arsEdition.
Athi co-developed this project with arsEdition's inhouse team in 2022 and was involved right from the beginning - she was the leading mind behind research, guidance on artwork, creation of die-cut files for illustrators, designing of contours and the establishment of the pre-production setting.
The result was one big, happy project for all involved!
Now launched at the beginning of 2023 in Germany.
