A carpet made of loops from conductive thread.
By standing on it, your body acts as an antenna. The carpet picks up the radio waves, which your body receives and makes them hearable. When walking on the carpet you can tune it to a certain frequency, like the tuner of a radio.

Lampshades from tapioca, vegetables and wafers.
When the human does not want it anymore, he can bring it to the animal environment. The lamps can be hung to a tree and get eaten by animals

A low-chair made from polypropylene cord. A part of the chair is heated causing the cord to shrink and harden. Because of the knit, the whole structure pulls itself together, making it more stiff. This forms the constructive shell of the chair, while the seating part stays untreated. Through the monomateriality of the chair, it is not only easy to produce, but also easy to recycle.

An expandable nesting table. The smaller tables which are contained in the bigger ones can work as additional surface, trays, drawers or stands to form a high table.

A curtain which you can shape to any form. Through the incorporated structure and magnets, it stays in the shape you push and pull it to.

Note: The curtain is not in production yet. Contact me if you want to be notified once the product becomes available.

When you take off the skin of a cow, there’s the meat. When you take off the meat, you have the skeleton. My chairs are constructed like a creature:
skeleton, meat, skin. I reconstruct metal frames I found on the dump based on anatomic rules. Like an archeologist who finds a dinosaur skeleton.

The chairs: Kurt, Kauer, Kummer

kurt is a luscious chair with the look and feel of an armchair, but the proportions and the inner life of a kitchen chair. It’s clearly animalic shape make it look like a toy, but the materials and the treatment is grown up.

kauer offers seating for one or two persons. He finds its spot in the public as well in the private space. It fits in clubs as well as in offices or galeries.

kummer is a high chair ideal for at the bar which seperates the kitchen from the living space in a modern appartment. It’s form falls between the aesthetic of the kitchen and the livingroom furniture and acts as a transition between the two.

Is it ok to make a cow out of the skin of a cow? Handbags made from leather and fur.

All of us have these treasures that we store somewhere in a box. Items from our childhood, findings from holidays… Every time we rediscover them, we remember the stories connected to them. Every time we clean up, we think we should finally get rid of them, throw them away.

Using 3D scanning I create digital copies of these treasures. The objects loose their materiality, but they keep their stories.With low-cost 3D printing I turn them into very personal products.

We live in a world where material values lose more and more their importance. Most of the products around us are mass produced and thus replacable.

Also personal products like photo albums, which were nursed with care for future generations lost their value, because we take our pictures digitally. They can be printed over and over again

This books shows the development and gives inspirations for future products. The binding of the book allows the reader to recombine the pages and create new inspirational spreads

Every opening, every vernissage it’s the same: We eat culinaric artworks from silver trays, snacks where you wouldn’t believe that they originally were made from plants and animals.

With my taco chips I want to bring the natural aspect back to industrial food. The chips can be built in an architectural structure directly on the table, or grow across it in organically structured branches. Pick the chips like from a tree an dip it in the sauce which is contained in the structure

The illuminating friend on your couch. No more sitting in the dark while watching a movie. No more being afraid of scary scenes. No more spilling your beer while reaching for the chips.

A foldable room divider made of a single sheet of paper. The ultra bright LED lights which sit in the niches provide a strong indirect light on the one side, and a cosy atmospheric light on the other side of the room.

A reading light inspired by the pile of books on the bedside table. Pull the lampshed and the lamp extends in a snake-like move over your bed. It casts even light directly on your book, no disturbing shadows anymore. When you’re done reading, push it back and the lamp rolls back in.

Puppets from the secondhand shop reworked into decorative lights.
These dolls got bright little minds.

A fresh and intuitive way to browse through your digital photos. Drag them, spin them, zoom in, zoom out!

After a trip through the building the students work is presented on two tables for module 1 and 2. The camera zooms in and moves from one paper to another where the work is presented as a slideshow. The user can take control and scroll through the projects manually, or just watch the presentation. The trip ends in the school yard, where the names of the students show up.

A dress that encloses your whole body softly like a second skin. How much do you dare to expose yourself to the outside world? Using scissors you cut your cocoon open and give it a form.

The text on the chocolates in this box describe something you should have done in your life. If you’ve done it, you can eat the candy, otherwhise it has to stay in the box until your deed is fulfilled.

A 35mm film has been exposed twice by two different persons. Both of them chose the images they photographed very carefully. On the film, the two visions unite.
