Georg is a Swiss designer, with a Bachelor in Product Design from Central Saint Martins and a Master in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship from ECAL.

His practice focuses on the re-use of discarded resources or objects and surplus materials. A big part of the value in his objects come from the uniqueness of the findings. employing sometimes unusual techniques to transform them into new purposes. He cross-references processes from industry and crafts, be it digital-manufacturing, construction industry or traditional techniques.

My work reflects my fascination for the raw and pragmatic processes I witness in the construction industry and my admiration for skilled craftspeople, dedicated to one material or process. I seek opportunities in the resources I have at hand and am triggered by materials that others call “waste”.

The journey starts with the material and context it comes from then driven by the particularities of the processes used and the people who master them.

What nourishes the projects is the physical exploration of materials, linked with research that takes many tangents. And what I love overall, is the moment these become one in an object and a story one can share.
