      Wardrobe "Butterfly"

      “Butterfly” is a mixture of a traditional folding screen and a wardrobe. As a stand-alone piece of furniture it can be flexibly positioned anywhere and because of its foldability it is perfect for temporary use. The object is waterjet cut and therefore produced nearly without offcut. When the wardrobe is closed, the 16 hangers and the rail fit together neatly like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. The compact wardrobe can be moved by a single person. Collaboration with Laura Flotho. Photos by Natalia Paschkewich / 2009

      Ceramic objects for Walter Knoll AG

      Different handmade and wheel thrown stoneware and porcelain vases and plates for Walter Knoll booth (created by Ippolito Fleitz Group) for furniture fair in Cologne and Salone del Mobile in Milan / 2019

      Material example: cellulose fibres


      Cellulose fiber / fiber forming process

      Shopsystem 'Cellwall'

      The shop system 'Cellwall' consists of two different wall panels made of cellulose fibres, produced in the fibre forming process. The panels, the corner piece and the straight section, can be combined in different ways. This results in very different wall structures, that can adapt to the space and the respective needs. It can be used for large and small areas. The system is a display for goods and a graphic element in one. But beside that it is also recycleable. / 2005

      Maple wood / laser cut

      Kitchen tools

      The kitchen tools are designed in a way they can be cut out by laser with almost no offcut from the wooden board. Afterwards the deepening of the spoons as well as the slant of the spatulas are milled. The tools are lightweight and lying perfectly in hand. / 2015

      Kitchen concept

      Gaggenau Cascade

      “Cascade” is a waterfall which is installed behind the stove. The constant flow of water is washing the dirt and steam away. It flows in a cycle system where it is filtered an used again. “Cascade” keeps the room clean‚ humidifies the air, illuminates and creates a pleasant atmosphere. Patent: Gaggenau. Collaboration with Sania Freiland. / 2003

      Tableware edition for the restaurant

      'Im Künstlerhaus'

      Handmade porcelain tableware especially designed and produced for the Restaurant. Its minimalistic form also refers to the furniture. Each piece is a little bit different, so the craft ist visible. The objects are only glazed inside. Outside you can feel the raw porcelain, which feels particularly soft due to the special processing. I am also producing on requests. / 2019

      Cigar Ashtray
