TABLEWARE

2023

at the beginning the task was to design a water container with glass for a scenario of a small bistro for 20 to 30 PAX. therefore the design of the carafe is based on the carrying and holding behavior by the hands. the recess on the neck of the carafe leads to a comfortable and secure grip. the shape of the glasses, which are produced the same way, adapts to the taper of the carafe upwards, making them stackable on it, which makes the transport of the full carafe with glasses easier. besides is the capacity exactly 2 liters - a good amount for a meal of four people.

dot is a (side-) table with a 30cm diameter tabletop and a height of 40cm. a clamp on the bottom allows it to be easily attach- and detachable on every plate.
the added surface hightlights things that are placed onto it playfully. it creates a new access to different scenarios at home and could also be used outdoor or in the gastronomy. at the moment it is planned to use it as part of an exhibition architecture.

ACTIVE DESK

FURNITURE

2021

active desk is the result of the exploration of new learning and working environments. the places where we live, learn and work are constantly transforming. our physical environment is continuously adapting to new requirements and needs and is becoming increasingly mobile, digital and hybrid. the project is divided into a theoretical and a practical exploration. within the theoretical part, learning- and working places were observed on different levels of observation. 

within the practical part of the work, a design was created that could be integrated into scenarios of new learning and working spaces.

MEAL / 식사

TABLEWARE

2018

the project arose from the reflection on origin, identity and personal things. sharing a meal can help create cultural awareness. the purpose of the intervention in the physical objects is to establish a symbolic dialogue between two cultures. This collection comprises three hand-thrown ceramic bowls that could be interpreted as conversation pieces.

KMMN (PRACTICE)

COLLECTIVE

2017-2023

the aim of kmmn_practice was to delve into collective practices and establish cooperative working structures, which went beyond typical design tasks. it involved creating a framework, platform, and collaborative space to work together, actively reflect on the collaborative process, and bring about transformation.
as a collective, we actively practice togetherness. given the complexity of the topic, the project was process-oriented and didn't have a defined time frame.
since summer 2017, the project has been ongoing, with various approaches, partners, members, constellations, methods, values, and objectives.

FARBERGÉ

OBJECT

2019

the technology of 3D printing enriches the design possibilities in ceramics in a previously unknown dimension. boundaries are being transcended that were previously defined by the material and its processing.
the design was created in the context of a competition that wanted to explore these new techniques of ceramic 3D printing. the design, which is meant to be linked to the history of fabergé eggs, won, was realized and exhibited at the LWL-Industriemuseum.
