I am an architect and designer. My mission is to improve spatial qualities - independent of type and scale. Therefore I design furniture, interiors and sometimes buildings.
It always starts with some kind of spatial problem and I feel best in coming up with clever and beautiful solutions. It does not matter if this means to only change a few bits in an existing constellation or to rigorously re-design a place - what is important is to fully explore the qualities of a spatial setting, which ultimately makes the users more happy.
But not all my work is commissioned and I like inventing new furniture by developing and testing prototypes. Than I am driven by the conviction that beauty and magic are strongly linked to simple and intelligent solutions. When a prototype is fit for everyday requirements I produce small scale series and sell it online - a nice and direct way to make my work part of the real world.
