OrderAs High As Best
A stainless steel tube bent into an angled U shape, powder coated in asbest-black, with a cable through it, As High As Best adapts the custom of improvised seating in a public space to form a precise and dynamic shape. Considering the regulations for materials and structures in locations where people stay temporarily (bus stops, playgrounds, train stations), the swing design switches the relationship between function and standard. As High As Best is part of our Kiossk project.

OrderTWO
TWO is a table. Circle and square, two primary shapes, are bent in a 90° angle across their symmetry axes and positioned on top of each other. The arrangement of the known seems both time-tested and new. The square basis provides stability. The circle hides and builds the tabletop. Units in several colors allow for modular variation. The combination of two make for a flat circular tabletop.

OrderKiossk
Kiossk adopts the concept of the temporary alternative space: an art venue in a (typically disused) urban location that offers new possibilities for art and culture. But the stage on which Kiossk's experiments are presented is not the inside of the building, but rather the black-painted sculptural form of its architecture. Its exterior surfaces constitute a changeable display for exhibitions, installations, and events, calling the very function of exhibition spaces into question. Its position between industrial and red-light districts turns it into a mediator. The exterior space is defined by 16 swings (As High As Best) that are affixed to the edges of the building's roof, presenting an opportunity to stay and play a while. Inside, visitors are greeted by shelves stocked like those of a conventional newsstand – with the difference that the standard offerings have been infiltrated by design products.
A new kiosk will be opened in spring 2017STHL
STHL is the minimal chair. Two wooden sticks and rubber. STHL reduces sitting to a minimum without neglecting its function, both in regard to its design and handling. It provides comfortable support to relieve the leg muscles, for example during lectures or exhibitions, while still requiring a certain amount of movement. Due to its lightness STHL is highly mobile.

As part of the festivities surrounding Karlsruhe's 300 year anniversary, the "Garten der Religionen" (Garden of Religions) was opened on November 24th, 2015. We designed 30 lasercut corten-steel plates reproducing quotes from five world religions which structure the garden's architecture. This project was carried out in cooperation with Helleckes Landschaftsarchitektur.
