Reduction of the design - in the
manufacturing process and in
transportation. Made in Germany with
traditional techniques came then into focus.
A product is never really finished. Even
though you see it’s available online or in
stores, development still continues. Time
plays an important role. It’s good to use and
test the product over a long period of time
to find out how it can be improved.
How do you choose or know which
materials to use?
I love materials and finishing. I am eager to
learn how things are produced, I’m
collecting them, taking them home and
using them out of their original context.
That often leads to interesting applications
within our accessories range. Furthermore
with every project a model and material
collection remains in our office. Due to my
experience we have created a library over
the time that is helping me a lot to find
inspiration and ideas for new products.
Which part of the design process do you
like the most?
The most exciting is the moment when I
have a material and an idea of a product
but yet I do not know what is possible and
what’s impossible. I call it “boost moment”.
At this stage there’s so much energy for
exploration, for questioning and especially
for testing the boundaries of the material
and its production process.
What’s in store for you professionally
and personally in the near future?
Sustainability is a massive project for us.
There are many things waiting for us.
