1979 born in Datteln, North Rhine-Westphalia 1999 A-levels 1999 - 2004 scholar at Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes 1999 - 2002 studied Industrial Design at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, undergraduate diploma 2002 change of school to Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, department of product design 2004 internship at Kahla/Thüringen Porzellan GmbH 2005 internship at büro+staubach GmbH 2006 diploma degree 2006 Mart Stam Promotion Award of the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee 2007 scholar at Designlabor Bremerhaven

The SEN+ design developed out of the idea of considering in the design of everyday tableware the special needs that people with physical and motor disabilities have when eating and drinking. The aim is to compensate for motor deficiencies without stigmatizing and maintaining the independence of the people concerned for as long as possible. The design is based on an eccentrical morphing of single parts of the tableware items. These design effects appear at first sight to be minimal, however they make the items inestimably easier to use. The result is not a “special tableware”, but a universal design which is helpful for everyone and which is of high aesthetic value.

“gehsammler“ is a cardboard magazine file with two compartments and a handle giving it a very distinctive appearance. The handle adds mobility making it useful while walking or standing. The size of “gehsammler” is based on the DIN A4 format and matches the size of a regular magazine file. “gehsammler” is made out of one piece of cardboard, which is folded and glued together. The excess trimmings are minimal, enabling an environmental friendly and economical production. The two compartments make it possible to easily organize and secure papers, books and brochures. For shipping and storage “gehsammler” folds flat and saves space. Conceived mobile, “gehsammler” may be used for many purposes: at home, in school and at work, at fairs and exhibitions – it is helpful everywhere!n

»teapot with warmer and accompanying sugar and cream set« | 2006, 2007 | aus 925er Silber, Kunststoff, Edelstahl
1975 born in Delmenhorst 1995 A-levels 1995 - 1999 apprenticeship as goldsmith in Oldenburg 1999 - 2002 employment as goldsmith 2002 - 2007 studied of metal design at the HAWK Hildesheim 2007 diploma degree, freelance designer and silversmith

The approach to the design of this teapot with warmer and accompanying sugar and cream set was the formal expression of a situation, a surrounding, an action. A silver teapot does not represent a simple utensil but much rather a cultural product. In this sense it does hold a practical function but even more so it constitutes a cultural action: the drinking of tea. The non the less existing functional capacities of the design express themselves in its use as well as in its construction: the teapot is filled through the large opening, the liquid is being kept in the body of the vessel and is finally poured and portioned trough the small opening. One aim of the design was the creation of a closed and sculptural form for each of the vessels, which is not only the sum of the single functional elements. To accomplish this the teapot`s insulated handle made of cast synthetics is integrated in the form and produces only a delicate contrast in colour and surface to the silver vessel. The symmetrically constructed teapot is formally supplemented by the slightly asymmetrical and almost natural pair of forms of the sugar sprinkler and creamer.

With enthusiasm for aprons we started a lively cooperation in 2003. Our first product the apronbelt was born between screaming children and kindergarten. The key hook/hanger followed and crowned our chaos with the Design Plus Award (Prize). Because of our passion for design and fun creating together we got down to business and launched nordprodukt. We attend to all steps of our products process from design to manufacturing and sale. We appreciate simple design solutions that are hard to find. Products that make our everyday life easier and much more beautiful.
