Koenig, Michael

Michael was born in Aachen in 1971. He grew up in a part of Germany bordering the Netherlands and Belgium. After school Michael was apprenticed to a carpenter and then studied design in Aachen, where he also received a degree.

Michael has had his own studio in Hamburg for several years. The studio is responsible for a variety of graphic projects in the field of furniture, accessories, lighting and interior design, using different materials and all kinds of technologies. What is Michael's secret? The answer is simple - to take an object of everyday use and give it something more in terms of its utility, function and material, and a touch of humour in many cases. Since 2008, Michael has been occupying a post of Flora's Art Director in Halver, Germany. His clients include Artepuro, Details, the Danish Consulate in Germany, Flora, Freiheit, Freiraum, Cinna, Clic, Habitat, Jasmim, Kaether & Weise, Ligne Roset, Louise Poulsen, Magazin, Morfoso, Rapsel and Verreum.
