Animal chairs

January 30th, 2008

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

January 30th, 2008

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

January 30th, 2008

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

January 30th, 2008

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.

Cows

January 30th, 2008

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

Store your memories

July 4th, 2007

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.

Dematerial World

July 4th, 2007

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

Renaturated Tacos

July 4th, 2007

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

Cocoon

April 14th, 2006

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.

Life candy

March 14th, 2006

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.

Sharing A Vision

March 14th, 2006

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.
