I am a berlin based designer,collector and manufacturer born in bavaria. I am focused on crafting accessories and designing small collections for men and women. I only use high quality textiles. All items are "Made in Germany" I try to create a traditional but timeles look inspired by 30´s up to the 50´s as well as modern influences. I dont care to much for a rule breaking modernism, I like to remember old traditions and give them a place in my work. Old handcraft combined with influences that I get at fleamarkets and antiques - interpreted in my very own way. My pieces are love pieces and should last a live time not just for one season. Every item tells a little story – I like he idea that every piece of my collection stand for itsself and on the other hand can be combine with every other piece of my work. The Inspiration for „the mounteneer“ is nostalgia- My hometown is near the bavarian alps - a place filled with traditional storys and a more or less conservativ view on the world. In my collection I play with the icons of that traditions and storys and also try to digest them and create something new by uncovering them and putting them in a new context. In our constantly changing world people long for a place where things stop for a second- I try to create that place for me and for all who are longing for such a place too.
