Our collaboration with Vicomte began with refining their collateral materials. This initial engagement laid the foundation for our ongoing partnership, which extended to the design of both Vicomte's websites and Chris Burggraeve's books.
When it came to the book project, our role went beyond aesthetics. Working closely with Chris, we embarked on a journey to define, visualize, and translate the formulas and Excellence System for crafting successful brands in the new Galactic Age. This effort culminated in the creation of the MC-Rocket©, a visionary device inspired by the ingenuity of Renaissance Master DaVinci, aligning seamlessly with Vicomte’s guiding principle - 'Creating Renaissance Brands TM’.
The dynamic collaboration between Kitchen New York and Vicomte LLC has since transcended the boundaries of our individual enterprises. Together, we've tackled various projects and served a diverse range of clients, a testament to the synergies and potential that lie ahead in our continued partnership.
