ARTIST - DESIGNER MAKER  SINCE 2016

Beside my work as a freelance designer for exclusive furniture labels, I had the dream to create a small own collection of unique pieces and limited editions. I wanted to create objects which gives a home a highlight, with a very strong soul and identity. One day in an antique shop, during the winter in 2014, I understood vases not as products but as forms you can play with.... as segments of a sculpture..... Fascinated from this idea of repurposing, I bought about 200 vases in the next weeks. This was the starting point of an unique experiment which brought me on the way to the first extraordinary series, the "small tables". The first presentation was 2016 in Berlin at the DMY - international design festival. Today I have a collection of about 1800 vases and bowls which helps me to create works on a high level. 

In the meantime the "small mirrors" became a part of the collection.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER  2002 - 2014

The sofa "movie" for the swiss brand "Interprofil" (today: ip design - jab anstoetz) was my breakthrough to the premium furniture world. The "B flat" for the dutch brand Leolux, is an award winning design classic, successful for 15 years.  For many years I was permitted and very happy to work for several very good brands.  

To be established is positive but it is as well negative, in a way. After the birth of my twins I grabbed the chance to make a longer timeout, using to reflect and develop new visions for my work. At this time I was remembered to my dream of a small own collection which is my most important task now. In the future my industrial design will be influenced by my work as a designer maker.
