NOUN

Quiqueg is a fictional character in H. Melville’ novel Moby-Dick. Quiqueg is a cannibal giant, fully covered in tattoos, but he is also a prince with a gentle soul who left his throne back in Polinesia to see the world. Aboard the Pequod, the ship that hunts the While Whale, Quiqueg is head of the harpooners.

“[…] but, the truth is, these savages have an innate sense of delicacy, say what you will; it is marvellous how essentially polite they are.”

Quiqueg is an integrated creative agency: we design and produce advertising, institutional communication and graphic design projects. We work together with a Trees Home – a video/photo production company that shares our passion for projects made with flair and care – and with freelancers from the creative sector who inhabit our coworking space in Milan.

Before establishing Quiqueg we were all part of Le Balene, an historic Milanese communication boutique.
