Is design political? Which role as it in confirming and reproducing
white privileges? Do designers really have an educational duty as
as old ideologies teached us? And how much of my attitude
should be visibil in my work without patronizing the world I live in?
One acces to those and further questions is to work with
materials and make them speak.
This appoach arrised early in my schooldays at Steiner School
first near Cologne and later on in Ulm. It solidified
then in a qualification as carpenter and has been enhenced
during the study at the Instrial-Design-Department at Academy
of fine Art Stuttgart.
Beside reflection and observing my serrounding, one of the basic
working principles I follow is the conviction that design happens
allong the way.
This is no call to lean back and wait for the perfect idea to
arrise but working constantly to create a space where the
unexpected can take place. To be mindful for those moments is
the true base of my creativity.
