Ritual Objects - @Freitagsküche Frankfurt am Main
To mark the start of this year's Ambiente trade fair in Frankfurt am Main, I had the pleasure of co-organizing and participating in the Ritual Objects exhibition at Freitagsküche in Frankfurt. The exhibition invited visitors to reflect on the significance of rituals in fostering togetherness. It was an evening that beautifully demonstrated how design and sound can create meaningful moments of connection and encounter. Eight artists showcased contemporary ritual objects and sounds that enriched the communal dining experience.

News: New Work Perspectives
In August this Year I started a new position as Manager Product Design at the Berlin based Company Paper & Tea. I am incredibly excited for the projects to come and to work with so many motivated people. Tea Culture is rich in history and manners, so it is something I am absolutely thrilled about to dive into. The pictures show my currently favorite Teas, a traditional Matcha and a Genmaicha - a Green Sencha Blend with roasted brown rice. From now on I will divide my working time between my Role at Paper & Tea and my freelance Projects.
'Wasser und Wein' Exhibition
The 'Wasser und Wein' Exhibition is opening at it's next (and final) stop at Baruth Glashütte.
Food Diary: Mexico
One of the best ways to explore a country is over its local food. Mexico is rich in food culture, and Mexicans have managed to preserve a lot of their traditional dishes. In Europe, we mainly know Tacos and a lot of Tex-Mex dishes like Burritos or Chili con Carne. But the food that I experienced in Mexico went way beyond anything I thought I knew or had expected from Mexican cuisine.
Inspiration: Setting a table by the sea
A lonely beach by the pacific coast tempted me to a spontaneous table setting by the sea. Rocks provided a table and the perfect scenery. The ocean provided me with treasures like oyster shells and tiny pebbles. Collecting shells by the beach is a very meditative and rewarding activity to me, which I already used to love as a child. Oysters especially are inspiring to me: The contrast between the rough outside and the shiny inside gives these them a beautiful a wild elegance, and I find mother-of-pearl is probably one of nature's most luxurious materials.
Food Diary: Crete & Athens
Since ancient times, Cretan cuisine has been based on several basic elements: olive oil, herbs, fish and seafood, goat or lamb meat, vegetables and fruits grown on the island. Later, Venetian and Ottoman influences were added to them, which created a special cuisine. Crete has many dishes that are found everywhere in the mainland of Greece, but also some specific only to this area.
