DIE SEINER is a Swiss graphic and design duo founded in 2004. Two designer and a huge network with core competences in graphic and product design disciplines, added with multiple interests in neighbouring fields such as urban art, streetwear or furniture.
The adventures of SEIN started in 2002 when Thomas Walde and Alain Schibli met at local art school. Realizing that not enough things are burning, they decided to start a creative fire in 2004.
It began with silkscreen printing and organizing art events. First exhibitions and products followed. Winning the Nike play-award in Berlin with their street-sledge "cibob" in 2005 and painting a Carhartt store in London ensued. Works of "Die Seiner" can be found in several design books and their products have been exhibited all over Europe.
Nowadays - a bit more grown-up, though never really grown-ups - the duo works for clients such as Carhartt, Nike, Levi’s or Lista. Besides client works and designing their own products, they try to support other creative minds by organizing the live art-tournament ART CLASH, running the design-blog SACHENMACHEN.CH and driving the print-magazine AMATEUR MAGAZINE. From 2005 to 2007 Florian Hauswirth, Christian Peter and Ronny Gerhard enlarged the team and remain honorary member these days.
