ZEITGEIST



BACHELORPROJECT- UPCYCLING FURNITURE
AND POP-UP

IN COLLABORATION WITH A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE, LUCA STICKEL, WE AIMED TO CREATE A NEW VISION FOR FURNITURE. WITH THE MAIN GOAL TO ONLY USE UPCYCLING MATERIAL - NOT JUST FOR THE TEXTILE COVERS, BUT ALSO FOR THE WOOD AND FILLING MATERIAL.

ALL TEXTILES USED ARE FROM A PARTNERSHIP WITH MÖBELHAUS BECKER, WHO SUPPLIED THEIR OLD SAMPLE PATCHES, WHICH THEY DON’T HAVE ANY USE FOR - AND AS OF ITS SIZE, PATCHING WAS THE MOST OBVIOUS SOLUTION TO COMBINE THESE.

IN CONTRAST TO THE VIBRANT COLORS, WE DECIDED TO KEEP THE WOOD SIMPLE AT FIRST VIEW - THEN YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DETAILS. FROM BOTH KLEINANZEIGEN AND HAUS DER MATERIALISIERUNG IN BERLIN, WE CHOSE QUALITY WOOD TO MAKE OUR PRODUCTS LONG-LASTING AND OF HIGH QUALITY. LUCA AND HIS EXPERTISE IN WOOD WERE ESSENTIAL IN THE PROGRESS OF FINDING MATERIALS AND THEN DESIGNING FROM THERE.

FOR THE ARMCHAIR, I WORKED TOGETHER WITH DASCHKEY. HE USED THE LEATHER FOR HIS OWN PROJECT, WHILE I USED THE BASE FOR A "NEW" CHAIR WITHIN MY UPCYCLING AESTHETIC.


ZEITGEIST X ELLE PÉ


WITH OUR DEAR FRIEND LUISA PFLÜGER FROM ATELIER ELLE PÉ, WE HAD THE PERFECT LOCATION TO SHOWCASE FASHION AND FURNITURE IN A LOVELY COURTYARD IN THE HEART OF KREUZBERG. AS AN OFFICIAL PART OF STUDIO 2 RETAIL AND THE BERLIN FASHION WEEK IN JULY 2024, WE CURATED A TWO-DAY POP-UP WITH EMERGING DESIGNERS FROM BERLIN’S FASHION SCHOOLS AND KNOWN UPCYCLING DESIGNERS SUCH AS MELISA MINCA AND LELEKTRA FROM THE COLLECTIVE ONEOFAKIND.

BESIDES FASHION AND FURNITURE, WE HAD A BLAST ON THE OPENING DAY WITH DESIGNER DASCHKEY INVITING THREE DIFFERENT ARTISTS WHO PERFORMED THEIR WORK IN CUSTOM OUTFITS MADE FOR THEM – A NEW SENSE OF WHAT SHOWS COULD LOOK LIKE.

ARTISTS COLLECTIVE ELMSTREET WAS INVITED FOR THE CLOSING DAY, AND WE ENDED THE WHOLE POP-UP IN COMPLETE RAIN, BUT I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS COMPLETELY WORTH IT!

TWENTY-THREE 



PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

ALL PICTURES WERE TAKEN IN PARIS DURING HAUTE COUTURE AND WOMEN’S FASHION WEEK IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY 2024. 

I HAD A BLAST WITH MY CASIO DIGI CAM, IT’S BROKEN SO YOU (DON’T) KNOW WHERE THE OPTIC OF THE PICTURES COMES FROM. 

IT BRINGS AN UNEXPECTEDNESS, WHICH ALWAYS SURPRISES ME. 

SO I GUESS A FEW DAMAGES CAN RESULT IN BEAUTIFUL UNIQUENESS.

THE TWENTY-THREE COLLECTIVE ORGANISED A WHOLE EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO ART, YOUTH, FASHION AND MUCH MORE IN HAMBURG.

    LOOKBOOK



    TRIBUTE TO THE TODDLERS

    TRIBUTE TO THE TODDLERS IS A COLLECTION THAT HAPPENED DURING MY SUMMER BREAK FROM UNI. I JUST WANTED TO CREATE.
    I COULDN’T SIT STIL FOR LONG. I WANTED TO PLAY AND EXPERIENCE MY PLAYFUL SIDE ONCE AGAIN. 

    YOU ARE WITNESSING AN HOMMAGE TO THE CURIOUS, HAPPY, LOVING AND CHILDISH VISION OF A TODDLER. 

    THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR - AND WILL ACT IN THAT MANNER TO EXPERIENCE LIFE WITHIN THEIR OWN RULES.
