In collaboration with Pre-Reserved and OBA, Recent™ developed the full brand identity and spatial design for Studio C—a cultural lab within the OBA Next initiative in Amsterdam Noord. Designed as a modular, multi-use space, Studio C reimagines the future of library culture as a dynamic intersection of learning, making, and gathering.

Drawing from local craftsmanship, open-source thinking, and urban youth culture, the studio created a flexible design language that moves fluidly between exhibition, education, and community use. From custom furniture systems to color-coded navigation and interactive elements, every detail was built to support curiosity, exchange ideas, and experimentation.
