Rooted in product design, experienced in exhibition design and exploring the curatorial, Studio Martha Schwindling works on multifaceted projects in a broad field:
We design furniture and other utilitarian objects as well as modular systems. Our objectives for each design project are affordability, feasibility, long-lasting quality, clean separation of materials for the circular economy, and joy of use.
We see interiors and exhibition designs as the materialization of ideas and concepts that evolve through dialogue. That is why we emphasize close collaboration with all those involved in our projects, be they private clients, institutions, curators, artists, researchers or producers.
Our design practice is based on and enriched by research into material culture, design and exhibition history. Based on our explorations, we curate exhibition projects and contribute to publications and mediation projects.
Martha Schwindling conceives and leads design workshops and seminars with students and professionals. She is particularly interested in combining different disciplinary perspectives and skills as well as promoting teamwork. She has shared her experience by teaching at the Art Academy in Munich, the UDK Berlin and the HS Anhalt in Dessau as well as through workshops at institutions such as the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and the Städtische Galerie Karlsruhe.
