2007, Cologne, Germany

The design of a pure and architectural exhibition stand reflecting e15’s distinct aesthetic was planned to communicate the introduction of the e15 Living concept for the brand’s 2007 collection. With a layout representing a generous one-story house, all living areas were represented. A special focus was placed on the debut of the sofa system SHIRAZ featured in various fabric combinations, creating a living landscape together with complementing products such as metal and wood side tables and carpets. The layout of the stand allowed the visitor to discover e15 products while wandering through different areas of a „residential house“.

Xue Xue Institute, Taipei, Interior Design

2007, Taipei, Taiwan

To create the first private university in Taiwan, the conversion of an empty, ten storey, 8200 sqm large office tower in the centre of Taipei’s Nai Hu commercial district into the Xue Xue Insitute was commissioned. Central to the interior design concept was the idea of promoting communication between different user groups to enhance interdisciplinary exchange as a basis for better working and learning – away from traditional podium-style lecturing towards a more active and lively exchange of ideas between professors and students. The completion of the interior included the conception of the ground floor shop and media gallery, the second floor restaurant and kitchen areas, as well as the classrooms and office facilities located on the third floor to sixth floor. A central element made from oak serves as guiding orientation on every floor. Alongside designing and realising the interior architecture, the briefing also included the planning and realisation of all furniture. The Xue Xue Institute is Taiwan’s first private academy dedicated entirely to the creative arts, design and culture.
