CORE'S MEETING
Less talk and straight to the core. We are German!
Sebastian, you're not just a designer but a true waterman who spends
just as much time in the water to test products as at the desk and in
front of the computer to engineer them. But you don't work on Core
projects on your own, do you?
That's right, I am not Core’s designer, that's Frank Illfrich. You could
say we are some kind of creative couple, we are friends but with totally
different personalities. I am extremely talkative, restless, Frank
is calm, completely focused on every detail. You can't actually tell who
does what on a product because we simply put our energy and experience
together and reach the goal. People watch us talking on the
beach for hours on and may ask what we are talking about, but we
truly love our job, I wouldn’t talk about passion or talent, we simply
need to do what we do.
How do the other members of your crew take part in this 2-made job?
We try to gather and consider everyone's feedback, starting with the
athletes of course, but also the sales or marketing manager, engineers,
dealers around the globe. In Core we think of ourselves as a
family, each of us is important and directly involved in our objectives.
