Hello! I am Tobias, a furniture and product designer.
For me good design has a maximum impact with minimal elements. I am specialized in product design and furniture. I am mastering wood as a material and I prefer sustainable solutions in all my projects.
I'm driven by good and well thought design and craft. To reach this, it is important to use known materials and techniques in new and creative ways, and create something new long lasting and exciting.
I offer the following services:
Furniture and interior design / Custom made furniture and wooden objects / Courses
