story
a meeting with many consequences
It’s the start of the 90s. two students of naturopathy meet, like each other. learn together. become friends. plan to work together professionally. develop a vision. farid zitoun and christian rüger. both animated by an idea: be involved with health. clear, professional. goal-oriented. with the full range of complementary medicine. with a tailored, individual concept for each patient. and especially with all their heart. starting at the point where school medicine meets its boundaries.
taking a clear stance.
after that came: clear-cut ideas. detailed plans. forward looking. not leaving anything to chance. absolutely meaningful. like writing in small letters, for example. following their philosophy: the emphasis is on PEOPLE alone.
and is highlighted accordingly. make clear statements. take a clear stance. Such as with the logo: secret sign as a symbol of the four elements. as a basis of their action.
tradition meets modern
mid 90s: founding of the nabo. this naturopathy centre is an owner-run company. registered as a partnership. in the middle of the ruhr area. with ideal transport communications. and traditional rooms. previously a printers, today known simply as “nabo“. a highly symbolic choice: retain the old things and carry them over into things modern. such as the methods of naturopathy. start of holistically effective treatment. based on old knowledge. with the latest in technology.
