Founder

Andreas Kowalewski is an industrial designer with more than 20 years of experience shaping products from concept to production. He studied industrial design at the Folkwang University of the Arts and has worked with a broad range of international brands across furniture, lighting, consumer electronics and household appliances.
After ten years at Philips Design in senior creative roles, he founded his studio to explore how simplicity can shape objects that are intuitive in use, durable, and relevant in their context. His work is rooted in material understanding and follows a systematic approach, aiming for simplicity and longevity in design. Originally trained as a cabinetmaker, he brings a strong sense of craftsmanship to his work.
