The home is experiencing complex changes these days. In light of current global changes in the context of living and working, we are observing an increasing importance of the home as a social and professional retreat. Due to increasing scarcity of living space, home offices or technical innovations in the sense of modern digital devices the demand for multifunctionality and versatile use of home furniture is growing and requires modern „hybrid“ solutions.
The sofa is emblematic for a change from the classic workplace to mobile working, fostered by the use of mobile digital devices. It forms the transition between sitting and lying down and becomes a hybrid between relaxing and working.
The „Shift Sofa“ defines a modern type of sofa furniture, that enables a versatile use of it‘s back cushions to fit different needs and situations in the home. It consists of just a few separable parts which makes it flat packable and enables to properly replace or recycle all of its components.

The ladder is an essential household item, but it is often rarely needed. The concept deals with the ladder‘s state of non-use, as well as its storage space referring to small apartments and households in general. The combination of several functions in one space-saving household furniture, as well as the use of wood as a warm natural material, aims to make the ladder an integral part of the furniture.
COM is a multifunctional household ladder that can be used, besides the function of a ladder, as a bar stool or a coat rack. The ladder is designed for use within the home and posesses a folding mechanism as well as a wall mount.

The Frame Hook was born from the direct inspiration of a screw hook as a simple and quick solution of hanging clothes or objects.
The idea of magnification and formal reinterpretation of the conventional wall hook forms the concept of the product. The hooks will be fixed with a standardized brass dowel in the wall and can be arranged freely. Different versions of the hook allow multiple possibilities for suspension and work both horizontally and vertically.
FLARE GUN
Portable LED Light
PP, Polycarbonate Shield, Acryilic Screen

For different lighting purposes, do we need entirely different products? Or is it possible to design something easily adaptable to different purposes and circumstances, serving both as an interior light as well as a hand-held spotlight?
Flare Gun is a project concerned with the versatility of simple consumer products. The concept of this lamp is based on it‘s minimal structure as well as it‘s simple producibility. The set comprises a multi-purpose lamp, a translucent acrylic screen, a polycarbonate shield, and two interchangeable battery covers. One of the battery covers provides the suspension mechanism. In combining these modules, it suits a range of applications: from suspended interior or exterior lighting to powerful mobile lighting for hand-held use or in an emergency situation. Thanks to it's two high-performance lithium batteries, the light rarely needs to be charged.
DÖ
Eco-Friendly Kebab Packaging
Molded Pulp

The kebab is an integral part of the German fast food culture. Unlike e.g. a cheeseburger at McDonalds, the kebab is always wrapped in aluminum foil, usually even for immediate consumption in the bistro. The minute duration usage is way out of proportion to the high consumption of resources and energy that is spent on manufacturing aluminum foil.
The idea was to rethink the traditional way of wasteful use of materials. This project deals with the avoidance of aluminum and plastic foil as packaging material for the kebab. It was about to find a material that fulfills the requirements of an ecological, cheap and not harmful to one‘s health packaging.
The DÖ kebab packaging is a disposable packaging for eating Döner kebab. It consists of eco-friendly and recyclable pulp, based on fiber moldings.
