ostwalddesign

ostwalddesign is the studio of German designer Andreas Ostwald, born in 1964. He trained as a ceramic modeller at the Friesland porcelain factory before studying at the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design, an experience still visible in the soft lines of his shapes.

His practice spans product development, corporate design, interiors and innovation consulting, with a particular attachment to lighting, the field he has explored for manufacturers from Anta to Zumtobel. Ostwald helped build the design department of Deutsche Telekom and realised the product manual for OSRAM luminaires, and taught at the University of Art in Bremen on universal design, structures, new materials and ergonomics.
