Retail design and production for European consumer brands
DFROST is a Stuttgart-based design and production studio focused on physical retail environments for premium consumer brands across Europe. The team is design-heavy (7 designers across 11–50 staff) with emerging production and architecture capabilities, currently accelerating hiring around furniture systems, product displays, and retail architecture projects. The stack is Adobe-native (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) plus 3D modeling tools (Rhino, Vectorworks, SketchUp), indicating a traditional architecture and design workflow rather than a software or tech-enabled platform.
DFROST creates retail environments, visual merchandising installations, and in-store brand experiences for consumer companies operating across Europe. The studio manages full-cycle production from concept design through prototyping and quality control coordination, with active work spanning retail architecture, POS systems, window displays, and integrated marketing campaigns. Operating since 2008, the company serves premium and established brands through design consultation, 2D/3D visualization, and hands-on production execution. Current scaling focuses on technical furniture systems development and retail experience design for larger-footprint projects.
DFROST currently hires in Germany only. Active roles span design (7), marketing (3), sales (3), and engineering (2), with hiring velocity accelerating.
The core stack is Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), paired with 3D modeling tools: Rhino, Vectorworks, and SketchUp. Microsoft Office and social platforms (Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn) also feature in workflow.
