CURIN

Information

Curin.io is a subscription-based inspiration platform celebrating creativity across art, architecture, interior design, photography, film, and advertising. It exists in response to algorithm-driven feeds and fleeting trends, offering instead carefully curated content chosen by rotating groups of inspiring creatives every other week. The platform is ad-free and intentionally slow-paced, focused on meaningful discovery rather than distraction.

· Challenge: Launch an ad-free, curator-driven platform for creative inspiration that stands in deliberate opposition to algorithmic overwhelm. 

· Approach: Build a clean, editorial-first digital identity and branded experience that honors pace, intention, and creative community.

· Impact: A refined platform that feels purposeful and elevated, one where creativity is discovered, celebrated, and supported.

Curated Inspiration

Curin is more than a feed, it is a curated gallery of creative voices. With figures like Simon Ladefoged (Founder) and Bjarke Ingels (Curator & Partner) guiding the creative direction, the platform rejects the mindless scroll and redirects attention toward works that move the soul. Spring/Summer’s design supports this ethos with editorial pace, thoughtful permissioning, and a quiet confidence that puts the work in the spotlight.

The CURIN Fund

A powerful extension of Curin’s mission, 20% of all profits go to the CURIN Fund, distributed twice a year to empower emerging creatives across disciplines. This commitment speaks to Curin’s broader goal, to do more than share, it supports and elevates new voices. Spring/Summer integrated this narrative into the platform’s structure and messaging, making generosity as visible as the visuals themselves.

Simon Ladefoged, Founder CURIN

"I approached Spring/Summer with a fairly clear vision and some rough sketches for a new curated content platform. Throughout the entire process of building and designing, I’ve only experienced being truly heard, met with positive energy, and a genuine drive to create something remarkable. The first part of our collaboration has now resulted in curin.io - and the outcome has exceeded my expectations, turning out far more sophisticated and refined than I had imagined. I’m excited to see the platform grow and to continue expanding its possibilities together with Spring/Summer."

In Summary

Spring/Summer partnered with Curin to give form to their purpose-driven vision. Our contributions include:

· Designing and building a digital experience that supports bi-weekly curator handovers, invites thoughtful discovery, and operates with editorial clarity.

· Crafting a simple, timeless brand identity, understated yet confident, ensuring that the creators and their work always remain in focus.

· Creating a restrained visual language that re-centers proportion, narration, and atmosphere over noise, mirroring Curin’s slow-cultural mission.
