Everyone from Base, smiling
Flagrantly disregarding the global economic crisis, all 53 employees from Base’s five studios congregated in Amsterdam last week to discuss the future of the company and wear fake moustaches and oversized glasses. There were top secret meetings, workshops, and plenty of time for the international group to cross-polinate. Surprisingly there were no deaths during the five-day summit, though no one was safe from photographic humiliation.
