We are Ce.

Ce. is a strategic design agency specialised in
branded spaces.

Starting from identity and corporate strategy and in-depth understanding of human behaviour, we design interiors, products and graphics for retail, offices, hospitality, leisure and places where these come together. In the Netherlands and the rest of the world.

Approach

Our perspective on the profession, shaped by experience, interests, our clients and projects: strategically driven, identity based, human centred, and creatively led.

Services

Strategy, design, and realisation to create places spanning from the interior to the urban scale.

Strategy and design

Interiors, products and graphics for small to big-scale spaces from the DNA of our clients.

We design interiors, products and graphics for small to big-scale spaces. Starting from the DNA of our client and with a clear concept, we work from the first sketch to construction drawings and with all that entails. With our partners we can extend our services to MEP consultancy, structural engineering etc. Upfront the design process we are also a strategic partner for our clients in various areas: from positioning and branding to customer journey analysis and commercial format development. 

Architectural services

Roll-out support in the Netherlands and the rest of the EMEA.


In addition to fully developing our own work, we also do this for others. With over 25 years of experience in designing and rolling out concepts for large retailers in the Netherlands and Europe, we are able to support clients as lead architect in the roll-out of their own concepts within the whole EMEA. Or we act as local architect in translating concepts for the Dutch market. Services include engineering and drafting services for permit, bid & construction sets and project management.

Urban development

User centred and identity based approach for the bigger scale.

Creating places where people love to be, connect with and return to. This is a red thread in our work which we also apply on a larger scale. We bring our user centred and identity focused approach to shopping streets, entire city centres or other public places where people like to gather and meet. We create solutions for urban challenges in close collaboration with governments, retailers, real estate companies, consumers and residents. We do this in our subsidiary Re:publiek. 

Skills

We master all phases of a spatial creative process. From vision and initial concept or commercial strategy to design, engineering and realisation. Together with our partners, we also undertake full design & build projects, being involved from the first sketch to the final nail.
