DESCRIPTION

This collection is inspired by abstract architectural elements of Berlin buildings. Most of these buildings are high profile GDR architecture, like the Cafe Moskau. Details of the patterns inspired our designs, which are also function as small mementos of these abstract elements, often overlooked in everyday life. Some of them, for example the Kaufhaus facade, has been removed years ago, and only exist in personal memory. We like the idea to connect to the city through hidden elements of architecture, which has a potential of a more personal attachment to ones living environment.

This collection is inspired by abstract architectural

elements of Berlin buildings. Most of these buildings

are high profile GDR architecture, like the Cafe Moskau.

Details of the patterns inspired our designs, which are

also function as small mementos of these abstract

elements, often overlooked in everyday life. Some

of them, for example the Kaufhaus facade, has been

removed years ago, and only exist in personal memory.

We like the idea to connect to the city through hidden

elements of architecture, which has a potential of a

more personal attachment to ones living environment.

We focus on a creative approach to design, which

informed by our background in visual arts and de-

sign. Most of our creations are based on a concep-

tual idea, exploring the relation to our environ-

ment, to the city we live in. We produce everyday

items, which can express meaning, and be useful

at the same time.

Our design process is project oriented - we pay

attention to the visual manifestation of the prod-

ucts, as well as to its conceptual background. We

develop strong, minimalistic looks for our designs,

in accordance to our production methods.
