The weturn vacuum sweeper is a design study for repairable household items. Technical components like motor and cable spool can be taken out for maintenance, exchange, repair or updates. Its shape is designed for visual longevity, independent from trends and fashion.

Costa is a research collaboration with Designer Bernadette Wüchner. Made from a flat sheet of metal, the curved shape is achieved through folding with a radial tool. Using this method more complex and organic forms are possible than traditional sheet metal bending without the investments needed for three-dimensional pressing.

Sibu is a research collaboration with Designer Bernadette Wüchner. It elaborates the possibilities of incremental sheet metal forming. The focus lies on minimal impact on the material in order to deliver optimized performance. The prototypes show experimental applications such as self-supporting and suspended geometries.

Prisma is one outcome of ongoing experiments with traditional plywood techniques. A surface structure increases the workpieces strength while reducing material investment. The construction of the box is inspired by classic guitar making.

Paper Phones is a design study to research the use of molded paper pulp for complex forms and objects. The material features great tactile and visual qualities as well as being relatively strong and lightweight. When using cellulose from recycled paper, molded pulp is a highly eco-efficient material.

Many small to medium-sized carpenter workshops operate CNC mills. Wood offcuts and leftovers get a new life as decorative objects with computer generated patterns optimized for the machine. More coming soon.
