We are two brothers, Rob and Barry van Dijck, the involved
leaders of design agency Staynice.
In 2007 we started our company, after graduating from AKV St.Joost,
academy of fine arts in Breda, the Netherlands. Our characteristic
work has drawn a lot of attention at the academy. We have both been
nominated for the ‘St.Joost penning’, an award for most promising
student. As a result of that nomination, we won a workspace for one
year at artist space and gallery KOP in Breda. From that moment,
Staynice is official.
Our motive is to leave something personal behind, something which
lasts. Ever since we were young, we have felt drawn to this. The
need for it has only become stronger.
Our ideal is to be in a constant search for perception. Like a
child which passionate discovers new things ten times a day. To
create something that is not there yet. To play with shapes and
characters. We try to achieve a contemporary style for our
assignments and our personal work, we try to translate digital
esthetics to the physical world. Typography is in most of our work
an important starting point.
The last few years we had the honor to have different national and
international publications. For clients we have created several
books and magazines, stationaries, posters, illustrations,
websites, animations and so on. Also, we have participated in
exhibitions in Holland as well as other countries. We think it's
very important to be a part of such events, it gives us a chance to
experiment and evaluate ourselves and our work.
At the beginning of 2010 our work was shown at the Graphic Design
Museum in Breda.
We have our roots in the graffiti and street-art movement. This is
directly shown in the unadjusted way we work, turned into a
powerful visual style.
Our core business is printed matter. But also hand painted wall
graphics are a very important part of our portfolio.
Pure perception is what drives us every day. Our creative work is
an illustration of that perception.
From child’s drawing to graffiti, from poster to t-shirt, from wall
painting to exhibition, from corporate identity to book. Each
personal and recognizable, gladly left behind. Nothing prettier
than creating good things which add up. Which are being perceived.
Which stick somewhere.
We worked among others for the Graphic Design Museum in Breda,
Mascotte rolling papers, Vodafone, Van Gils clothing company, KOP,
AKV St.Joost, Royal GMF GOUDA, Royal Broese en Peereboom, G2
Amsterdam, Mezz, Shop Around!, Playgrounds festival, Breda Barst
festival, city of Breda and 013.
