fp.formgebung – Frank Person

fp.formgebung is the Darmstadt studio of German industrial designer Frank Person, who conceives and develops products for industrial series production, mainly everyday objects for manufacturers of consumer and capital goods. A characteristic formal language, intuitive use and reliable function are the stated goals, pursued without falling back on a dogmatic functionalism.

Trained as a glassblower before studying industrial design at the Fachhochschule Darmstadt, Person combines craft knowledge with academic training. His approach favours reduction to the essentials, with sustainability built into the method through quality materials and long product life. Clients range from koziol, sompex and THPG to Nusser Stadtmöbel, viasit and Welonda, across housewares, lighting and furniture.
