Designing a website about one's own work is a difficult thing. It implies asking ourselves fundamental questions about our work and goals. A slightly philosophical thing: "what do we do exactly? and why?". Doing a personal website is an easy thing when one's in design school, but it becomes a nasty task for a professional studio or agency.

we made ego[n] because we love books. beautifully designed books, books crammed with ideas and visual inventions, books that we read and read again, with ever-new pleasure. in this video-infested multimedia-connected cellphone-ruled age, we still love the tactile qualities of paper, the unexpected results of crazy printing techniques, the pleasute to explore concept-driven publications that are playful gardens for our deranged minds.
