Who is Waldbach? SOLOPRENEUR & TEAMPLAYER

As a dynamic creative force, Janne Wolterbeek (born 1976, Middelburg) brings his multifaceted design talents to life at Studio Waldbach. While he mostly flies solo, he’s ever enthusiastic to join forces with experts across a breadth of disciplines, both near and distant. In this light, he refers to Studio Waldbach in plural, echoing the harmonious symphony of collaboration.

When he collaboratively weaves ideas with skilled and enthusiastic coders, attentive printing professionals, and a diverse array of other gifted individuals, that’s when a subtle glimmer of ingenuity subtly appears. We must also modestly mention – our client relationships! They are indeed a dynamic and engaging play of teamwork, and that is something we deeply cherish.

Waldbach doesn't just deliver, but thinks ahead. Understands your vision, embraces it, but looks for creative alternatives if something needs to be changed for practicality or design improvement. Highly recommended!
Jesse de VriesCreative Director
Janne van Waldbach lives and breathes design. I worked with him on icons for our school. Briefing was easy and the process was effective. We were always in sync every step of the way. Finally, nice guy!
Rob MarinissenCreative Director & Teacher
Walbach / Janne Wolterbeek collaborated in the design and realization phase of several of my monumental artworks and did a fantastic job. Thinking along, inventive, more than creative and self-willed: exactly what was needed. I can highly recommend Waldbach to anyone. And I will certainly ask him again in the future.
William VerstraetenArtist
Janne's work on the project was fantastic. Rather than simply carry out the brief, he really grasped the concept and demonstrated how we could massively increase leverage, greatly enhancing the original vision. He's proven to be a real value-added asset, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any team that has a digital requirement.

The kind and generous actions of the Everyday Earth participants spread far and wide. They caught the attention of Christian Estrosi, the respected Mayor of Nice, and his accomplished spouse, Laura Tenoudji. Laura is a renowned news correspondent at France 2, a French public broadcast station. Together, they decided to join a fun Plogging event in the center of Nice on World Cleanup Day, a global celebration.

Everyday Earth’s carefully planned events caught the attention of both local and national press in France. Their remarkable efforts were even acknowledged with a formal commendation from the national Assemblée Générale.

In 2022, Everyday Earth went through a major transformation and emerged as Agirrr, a fresh and exciting new version. Leading this incredible change was none other than the brilliant Thierry Lebrun. With his innovative ideas, Lebrun guided the organization to promote local plogging activities in various towns along the beautiful Cote d’Azur and even beyond. Agirrr’s plogging events have transformed the landscapes in various municipalities like Nice, Cagnes, Cannes, and Lyon.

Every day is Earth Day Everyday Earth / Agirrr

Everyday Earth came to life in 2018, thanks to the brilliant minds of Bela Hatvany and Wim Kiezenberg. Bela, a seasoned software engineer, and Wim, a marketing savant and design maestro, joined forces with a common goal – to make our Mother Earth healthier and more harmonious. Everyday Earth is not just a platform, it’s a place where conversations come to life. They’re passionate about discussing important topics like waste pollution and social inequality because they believe in creating change together. 

To create a better future, everyone felt motivated to turn their words into actions. The beautiful streets of Nice witnessed a sweeping change as people started a new trend called “plogging” – a combination of jogging and cleaning up litter. And this was just the beginning. Everyday Earth embraced the spirit of kindness with concepts like “pay-it-forward”, bringing relief to those in need, including the homeless. Additionally, Everyday Earth birthed a local currency, with the aim of injecting new life into the local economy.

Agirrr / Everyday Earth Cagnes / Nice, France

The vibrant imagery above showcases a selection of the distinguishing elements of Everyday Earth’s and Agirrr’s comprehensive visual identity system. Sculpted from whimsical typographic playfulness, underlined by a potent geometric essence, and dressed in colors too commanding to be overlooked, these elements imbue a striking visual language.

The everyday.earth domain hosted community-building resources, conversations, video interviews and more. Created in close collaboration with Mathieu Peroni.

In the realm of creativity and visionary leadership, Diane Van den Berge’s intellectual prowess sparked life into Agirrr’s innovative project, Forêts d’Abondance. This initiative, as profound as it is inventive, seeks to sow the seeds of change on the verdant undulations encircling the picturesque hamlet of St. Paul de Vence. Its mission? To embolden the proliferation of trees and invigorate the vibrant weave of biological diversity. To bring this conception to life, Studio Waldbach deftly etched a logo, a symbol imbued with themes of positivity, plenitude, and multiplicity, mirroring the initiative’s core values.

A highly sophisticated laser-cutting machine gracefully dances upon the creation stage, bringing to life the tokens of prosperity for the Everyday Earth’s collective. These emblems, baptized as Carency, would soon become the beating heart of their communal exchange.

Enrobed in the fabric of an Everyday Earth tee, Barbara journeys through the scenic vistas en route to the much-anticipated summit of Care Economy in Caux, Switzerland.

The presence of Agirrr, once known as Everyday Earth, radiates from the luminous glow of media spotlights to the adrenaline-pumped arenas of sponsored sports teams while subtly whispering their brand story through the bustling veins of urban streets.

In the big, beautiful play of life, the team at Agirrr, earlier known as Everyday Earth, creates a harmony of unity for a special reason. They’re all about building a world where we all live in peace, giving back to Mother Nature and our communities. Agirrr adds color to our world with a diverse and ageless touch, saluting the beautiful blend of cultures and eras.

The Igirama Projects William Verstraeten

Studio Waldbach assisted with several ambitious projects by the late Dutch artist William Verstraeten. One of them was the Igirama project: Igirama, as coined by William, is a spherical panorama, with an equirectangular image printed on the inside of a hemisphere, about 12 to 30 meters in diameter, reflected on a giant disc-shaped mirror on the floor. It gives the visitor who enters the Igirama a sense of walking in the sky.

Other proposed locations for a bespoke Igirama installation were the WTC Memorial Museum in New York City, Doha in Qatar, Hiroshima, and others.

Studio Waldbach programmed a web application based on the Google Earth API, to help measure and produce the curved strokes that were to be used inside an Igirama maquette.

The interface of the Igirama Automator, as the web app was baptized. With a floating, collapsible instrument panel, any view of any location could precisely be measured. It also included rulers that could be moved and rotated with high precision.

The projects garnered a lot of global media attention. The Twin Towers Igirama was also presented on TEDx Amsterdam.

Studio Waldbach contributed to the realization of this video presentation, which also serves as an explainer video. This one was produced specifically for the New York Twin Towers Igirama.
