// Babel 2.0 //
More

Babel 2.0 is a functional six-piece kitchen object designed to prepare and present meals. The ensemble consists of four different bowls plus a colander and a basket. It remains compact and “disguised” as a fruitbowl on the kitchen tabletop.
Every piece is manufactured in a different material and can be used to fulfil various culinary needs. You can easily combine every single element with each other and alter their order in any desired way. Thus, Babel 2.0 changes its appearance everytime you use it.

// cooking library //
More

For sure you won´t find literature classics in the Cooking Library. It is a collection of wooden boards designed to prepare and present food. The size and material of every single board varies. The concave inner surface of the „book“ makes it handy while the title on the back of the board gives a hint of its field of use.

Chopping Library is meant to be stored in the place where the boards formally fit best: between your (cook)books.

// third quality first //
More

Third Quality First is a wall clock made of porcelain, which is casted traditionally by hand, then fired and finally glazed. The clock face is located on the back of the object; however, during the firing process it becomes visible on the front of the clock. Normally this characteristic of the depicted underside represents a degradation to second choice for high-quality porcelain parts.
Third Quality First elevates this short-coming to a central design element and thus creates lively objects with a unique character.

// the triplets //
More

The Triplets are a collection of versatile functional objects. The playful manipulation of the proportions of a classic chair and the resulting change in the character and function of the furniture forms the essential element of the concept. The Triplets are intended as useful furniture for the hallway and entrance area, but they are no less comfortable in the bathroom or bedroom. Despite their unique and playful shape, they require spatial proximity to at least one of their siblings in order to develop their full character.

// Blank series //
More

The small series BLANK is inspired by the classic industrial suspension lamp. Each lampshade is made of folded pieces of metal that are rivetted together. All elements are laser-cut in a very efficient and material saving way.
Typical metal finishings reflect the light and create different atmospheres: cool (cromatet), obscure (bronzed) and cosy (galvanized). BLANK can be produced on demand and fits the needs of a small brand.
