I'm Henning, 22, and I study product design in Darmstadt. What I enjoy most is working out how something will actually be made, usually while the form is still changing. The process settles more than people expect: radii, wall thickness, where a seam ends up. I take that as a starting point, not a restriction.
Tools I use
Design approach
As an aspiring product designer my work is guided by a few core principles that shape my decisions and reflect how I believe products should be designed and made.
Simplicity
For me simplicity is at the heart of good design. Production, construction and use should be as clear and straightforward as possible. This leads to efficient manufacturing and products that are easy to understand and use.
Accessible materials
I value materials that are simple, sustainable and affordable. A product should not only be functional and appealing but also financially accessible to as many people as possible.
Clear forms with purpose
Every shape and detail should serve a reason. I aim for forms that are clear, honest and make a product’s function immediately understandable.
Efficient production
Fast and precise manufacturing is an important part of my approach. Intelligent processes make products more sustainable and ensure consistent quality while turning ideas into reality quickly.
These principles guide my work and help me create products that are functional, visually refined and have a positive impact on everyday life.
