Continuing our collaboration with Philipp und Keuntje GmbH, I led the 2D design and compositing for the second chapter in Rimowa’s cinematic brand story — F13: Maiden Flight. This piece follows the recreation of the historic F13 aircraft, brought back to life nearly a century after its first flight.

Premiered at a VIP event in Zurich, the film marked the official reveal of the aircraft’s return to the skies — one year after its initial unveiling at Oshkosh. Picking up where the first film left off, the narrative moves fluidly between past and present, culminating in the long-awaited takeoff.

Unlike the inaugural chapter, which served as an atmospheric teaser, this installment grounds itself in the technical and emotional realities of modern aviation. A rich visual montage spans from the 1920s through to 2016, tracing the legacy of Rimowa’s innovation and engineering.

With a clean, editorial aesthetic — a modern take on a 1920s newspaper — the film balances reverence for history with a forward-looking energy, capturing both the nostalgia and ambition behind this remarkable project.
