KISKA

At KISKA, we’re all about pushing boundaries—and helping brands do the same. Working alongside USWE, a brand renowned for its MTB and gravel gear, we helped them extend their market reach into the world of ski touring. Through strategic guidance and expert design, we supported USWE as they reimagined their expertise for this rugged, high-performance environment. Over the years, KISKA and USWE’s collaboration has spanned over 20 backpack designs, each tailored to blend the brand’s unique DNA with functionality which is right at home in the outdoors. The BRANT Ski Touring Daypack is one of our ventures together – thoughtful design built to support epic adventures. What else have we done for USWE?

Ready for endless fun? The Elan Primetime 55 Ski is here to guarantee it! Designed to make piste skiing desirable again, the Primetime skis turn heads and carve curves with game-changing asymmetric tech. With its eye-catching design, this ski is crafted to make every turn thrilling and every carve effortless, delivering an unforgettable experience on the slopes. And now, it’s won the BIG SEE Award for Product Design! Our unique design approach showcases their tech innovations: bold graphics along the inner edge add power, while softer tones on the outer edge bring playfulness. A pop of brightness defines the “party edge”—an eye-catching detail that highlights the ski’s lively character.

This year, a new supercar retreat opened its hangar doors: BASE 500. What started as a raw idea for car storage has evolved into an exhilarating, modern, and ultra-premium experience for hypercar owners. Our creative team defined a harmonious impression for the building, as well as a distinctive typeface and brand name. This ideation led to the definition of the unique BASE 500 touchpoints which turn a ‘space’ into a high-octane experience. But what activities make sense for a prestige car club? Our lounge sketches include a game zone (with a state-of-the-art Carrera track and SIM racers), a ‘fuel station’ kitchenette, and statement floor-to-ceiling viewing windows overlooking the hangar. Dark colours contrast with pinpoint lighting to provide an impressive stage to house supercars. BTW! This isn’t the first (or last!) time we’ve developed Branded Space Design.
