Easy, intuitive assembly and disassembly as well as the possibility of stacking are the TZO Stools’s most important features. Therefor it reacts to the constantly shrinking housing space in cities. To ensure that the frequent change of residence, which goes along with this development, is easily possible, screw‑ins are inserted into the black stained seat made from solid oak. Resulting from this technical feature the three powder coated chair legs can be attached with metric screws which guarantees a small wear up. Furthermore the mortised connections inside the seat ease the assembly. T‑beams have been a source of inspiration for the legs which give them a delicate appearance but also strength due to the way of construction. 0/04

PANGEMO KITCHEN offers a place for communicative cooking. At first hand it was developed for multigenerational houses and enables people from alle ages, body size and with huge variety of different motoric, sensory and cognitive abilities to prepare food together. Cooking-, washing- and working-station can be separately adjusted in height electronically and adapted to the individual ergonomic needs of the different users. In order to that wheelchair-drivers and children can be included into the cooking process easily. In addition to that all control elements can be used in a intuitive way and are offering a tactile experience and designed with huge optical contrast. Due to contrasting and elevated edges at the countertops the PANGEMO KITCHEN gains its graphical appearance. 0/06

The 135° CHAIR was originally developed as outdoor-furniture for the garden of a hall of residence. It uses outdoor leather and powder coated steel in order to be weather‑resistant. The leather is attatched by straps and rivets to the steelframe making it durable. A very geometric design was used enabling the ottoman to fit at any side of the chair. It is also possible to place a couple of chairs and ottomans in a circle. Named after this function‑giving 135° angle the chair‑ottoman combination is designed to fit in many different surroundings and offers a huge range of seating constellations. 0/04

The ADD+ combines a rasp and a squeezer, two kitchen tools that are mostly used to process lemons. It is designed to fit the hands in a comfortable way and has a simple and succinct form. The prototype of the ADD+ was realized with 3D print technology. It was very helpful in realizing the complex shape of the squeezer and to make an accurate rasp pattern. 0/03

Dealing with the topic of intelligent glass the ORBITE was created, a table lamp with rotating lamp shades out of glass, one sanded, one red and one blue which changes the room’s light mood. The ORBITE is a poetic alternative draft to app controlled lamps which mostly have planned obsolescence and it transforms the technical intelligence into an analogue, timeless and understandable solution. The rotation of the glass is made possible by a technique where the cable is lead through a threaded tube. Connected to this tube are two shorter tubes which hold the lamp shades and can be rotated by hand. The platform has a small hollow which guides the largest lampshade and is also offering a conduit for the cable. 0/04

The TOUCH CHESS‘S unique feature offers the opportunity to be played in the dark or by blind persons. We made it possible by creating figures that can be identified by their individual shape which is derived from the way the figures can move. To differentiate the two parties we gave them smooth and rough surfaces as well as an tactile playground. These characteristics offered the possibility to only use one colour which should provoke a reflection about handicaps and usage of senses. 0/04
