I’m a product designer born in 2002, currently studying at the University of the Arts Berlin. In my work, I explore and question social habits, with a particular focus on sustainability and social responsibility. My interest in craftsmanship and interdisciplinary collaboration inspires me to develop new design approaches.

As part of my studies at the University of the Arts Berlin, I challenge established norms and experiment with new methods. During my semester abroad at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (2023/24), I deepened my engagement with speculative design and the exploration of potential future applications and scenarios.

Carveo is a series of glass objects blown into carbon fiber molds. In its hot, malleable state, the glass took on the texture of the fibers, resulting in unique surface structures. In some molds, additional metal rings were used, causing the material to fold more intensely and thus creating new shapes and textures.

These imprinted structures offer various advantages depending on their application: they produce captivating light patterns and enhance the grip of the glass, leading to a more comfortable and secure handling experience.

The central idea was to explore and harness the unique properties of carbon fiber molds for shaping glass. It quickly became clear that the texture of the mold altered the haptics and improved the tactility of the glass — a crucial advantage for a material that is usually extremely smooth.

The woven structure of the carbon fiber and the deliberate use of various rings created an improved grip that prevents slipping. This insight formed the foundation for the additional shapes developed during my week at CIAV Meisenthal, ultimately resulting in the Carveo series.
