„Global warming and its consequences, shortage of oil reserves, the worldwide market for anonymous and short-lived products, the conflicts between different cultures, the mindless consumption; these are all problems that our society is confronted with and for which I as a product designer can raise awareness. With my products I want to criticize and affect the mindset and behaviour of consumers. The products should evoke new passions and give an incentive to get active. Each new product development is about building a bridge between the past, the present and the future. The product shall be an instrument for us to progress and to be ready for tomorrow.“
