PROJECTS

Enframe is an audio recorder for outdoor use.

It is an answer to digital images' loss of value due to their shift of purpose: images are increasingly used for self-promotion on the internet instead for self-reflection.

Enframe is my MA degree project at Central Saint Martins in London.

The recorder is used to document and capture outdoor impressions.

The user's task is to look through the framing device and describe what is seen and felt.

A verbal description of your experience gets as intimate as a diary.

Lineup is a concept for interactive design of personal souvenirs for museums and major events.

The t-shirt is supposed to result in a more consciously experienced visit and offers the possibility to show cultural awareness in a personal way.

Ultimately it supports the arousal of communication between visitors

and leads to exchange of memories.

Lavo. is a product to wash your clothes by hand. Primary designed for outdoor-activities,

it can be used at home as well as in the wilderness or on a campsite.

This Project has been the main part of my bachelor-thesis.

On a trip, the dirty linen is collected in it and after adding water and biodegradable detergent,

the bag can be de-aerated via the valve and tightened by a surrounding rubber spring.

Then, by fulling the bag, it mixes up the clothes and water very well.

Lavo. opens a new space for washing clothes by hand and cleans up with so far improvisation, damaged skin, environmental pollution and dirt from the basin.

Washing by hand is annoying. No one really knows how to do it.

If you don‘t have a washing machine, how can you wash you clothes?

In the nature, soap should not get into lakes or rivers. At home wool clothes soak in the basin and on a camping site, the basins don‘t give me the feeling to improve the cleanliness

of my clothes.

Sewing the mock-up.

Testing material prototype.

Taking measurements for final model.
