Scenography for Globus
A variety of visual merchandising and interior design projects during my time working for the flagship store Globus in Zurich. The aim of the work was always to guide the client into the reality of another world while putting the product into it's best spotlight.

Interior Design
1
An 88 square meter flat in Zurich. The goal was to open up the building trough taking out some of the walls. The new layout combines the kitchen with the living room and the bedroom with a big bath- and dressingroom.
The materials are natural and warm so like oakwood and valser quarzit stone. The walls are covered in warm shades of grey combined with a contrast of black elements.

The goal was to create a living space including a working space in one. The atelier is located on the ground floor equipped with flexible wall elements to optimize the space either for workshops with bigger groups of people or just for single persons. Two offices and two bathrooms complete the working area.
Upstairs reachable trough a spiral staircase is the living space, made for two persons with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen with a livingroom and a small balcony.  The colors are warm, oakwood combined with black metall are key. The colors blue, red and gradiations put marks on the elements.

The Stool
The Stool was designed in a small woodworkshop within Samos refugee camp together with Yasin, a former refugee and talented craftsman from Sudan.

The concept and design of the stool is made out of the possibilities given through the environment. With minimal crafttools and a small budget, the frame of the stool is made out of local wood. The cotton cover is hand weaved and the pattern has emerged through brainstorming together, involving the local cultures of the camp residents.

For you my friend
The publication For you my Friend is a personal exploration and confrontation of the major topic of the refugee crisis through research, observation, asking questions and meeting individuals.

After volunteering in the Moria refugee camp on Lesvos, at Europe's external borders, the urge was to make the overarching topic of displacement and migration and its dimensions more tangible, as well as to give the individual people encountered a space and a voice to share their story, their dreams, hopes and disappointments.

For you my friend plays with the contradictory contrasts of the mass and the individual, suffering and beauty, in a place, where cultures clash and melt together, between tears and dance, and where strangers become friends.

I pack my bag and take with me…
"I packed my bag“ is a classic German memory game, often played by kids to kill some time. One starts with „I pack my bag and take with me…“ completing the sentence with anything he/she wants to take. The next one continues by memorizing what the one before packed and adding something to it – and it goes on like this.

This game was played in an appropriatly adapted way with children in a refugee camp, while they were also drawing what they would have liked to take along on their journey.

The shirts were created to raise awarness for the situation of the many children that have to leave their home, going on a unknown journey, not being able to take what they would like to take the most: their home, pet, music instruments, and much more.

Überläufer*
All borders are fictitious. Whether it is the borders between countries or continents, the borders between ethnic groups or those between the so-called classes: they are constructions of a language striving for order and subdivision.

Überläufer* is an artistic exploration whose different approaches to migration, transformation and alteration come together in a sound-space composition and mutually fertilize each other. The musicalization of space and the spatialization of music, the liquefaction of artistic and biographical positions are nodal points around which a network of interests spans that both refuses standardization and embraces commonalities.

Monc is a small eyewear design studio in Notting Hill, London. The designers at Monc create highly limited and premium collections inspired by creative urban environments. This also gave rise to "Kallio". Kallio is a pair of glasses developed from impressions of a lively district in Helsinki, where people exchange ideas and share their creativity and views. Monc received a new corporate design, applied to the visual appearance for the glasses "Kallio" in 2020. Six designs are always applied in combination with each other in their full size. The typography is calmly set and shows a certain elegance in the regular cut. The visual appearance is applied to the Kallio 2020 lookbook, the packaging design and the letterhead. The materials used play with translucency and thus emphasize the theme of the look. Good look!

Critical Zone
For a long time, the Earth's response to the human impact went unnoticed, but on a finite planet, limitless growth is not possible. Based on the theses of the book Limits to Growth: the 30-Year Update (Meadows/Randers, 2006) the Atlas of Critical Zones was compiled as an anthology that explains the current scientific database and, at the same time, strives to visualize possible solutions for a change in Earth policy: visions, networks, veracity, a readiness to learn, and philanthropy.

The fascination with the Swiss Alps served as a source of inspiration. The five books Calcite, Serpentine, Biotite, Muscovite, and Quartz take readers on a journey into the local worlds of rocks and stones in Switzerland. By doing so, the question is raised of how, today, we experience and live with nature and how we can sustainably advance in it, step by step. The publication strives to awaken the conviction in us humans that an effective change of how we deal with our environment and a turn towards sustainability can succeed.

Wald
The forest is an indispensable place of growth, diversity and life, a natural habitat and a place of longing. But today the forest exists mainly in our minds. However in the age of the Anthropocene and the distancing from nature as a natural environment the longing for an intact nature is returning. Due to the global pandemic, the forest has once again become a place of retreat and for relaxation, and thus gains new value.

While the value of the forest in the early 18th century was still strongly determined by the economy, and entire forests were cleared as a result, the concept of sustainability emerged as a consequence. This replaced the prevailing, uncontrolled exploitation of forests.

In Art historically the forest has often served as the inspirational source and setting for mystical scenes or has been romanticized. Today artists often approach the subject from a critical, ecological and scientific perspective.

"Wald" is neither, and yet both at the same time.

Detailed observations of the easily overlooked things in this vast space full of entities resulted in a photographic documentation that shows the diversity and aesthetics of the forest through macro shots and extraction of the colors. The abstract and atmospheric images find their application in a large poster series in the place where the forest does not exist – in the city. The urban environment offers a strong contrast to the visual language of the images and is intended to stimulate a renewed dialog with the forest.

Ich hatte immer ein Zuhause
There are 27 bones, 36 joints and 39 muscles in each human hand, as well as numerous tight ligaments and tendons. This complex structure enables the human hand to grip, feel but also to communictae, accompaning and supporting our verbal speech in a subtle form.

This work tells the story of three people who came to Switzerland in search of a new home. Their origins, their religion, their reasons for fleeing and their stories are individual and yet they share something fundamental with the many thousands of other people who have fled to Switzerland: they left their home in the hope of finding a new home. A place of safety. A feeling of security and belonging.

While they were sharing their story, photos were taken of their hands to catch the nonverbal and yet expressfull in an universal language.
