Streifen is a Melbourne-based design studio founded on the belief that sentimentality is a core impetus within design, acting as both material anchor and a passage through which people carry histories, attachments, and meanings.

Founded by Frances Normoyle and Madeleine Murdoch, Streifen spans object design, creative direction, and exhibition-making, conceiving work both exacting and undone, in equal measure.

The word STREIFEN is rooted in the German meaning “strip,” “touch,” “brush,” or “slip.”
