S1 Ep. 4 From Thursdays to churches: Team Thursday on space, typography, and togetherness

In this warm and generous conversation, we meet the duo behind Team Thursday: Loes van Esch and Simone Trum. Their collaborative studio in Rotterdam has shaped many precise typographic identities and books in the cultural field.From shared kitchen table experiments to moving into a church with fellow creatives, Loes and Simone reflect on:How their friendship evolved into a 12-year-long design partnership;The joys and frictions of working as a duo - and why 'just keep going' became a guiding principle;Their views on lingering, and why sometimes it’s more efficient not to be efficient;And how typography, for them, is not just a tool but part of the book’s soul.Whether you’re a student, designer, teacher, or book enthusiast, this episode is a generous insight into the layered world of collaborative graphic design.This recording is made possible with the support of The Mondriaan Fund, L. van Heek Textiles BV, and Luminosity Lab.
