Oliver Schick (1969, Darmstadt) studied product design in Saarbrücken. He worked as a freelance designer and started his own design studio in 2005. “I shift between free work with an investigative character and functional assignments. The end result is different every time. Although I make sure to never lose sight of narrative character and visual impact, even in my commissioned work. A piece of furniture or utensil you use every single day should not be boring or predictable.” Schick likes to utilize a broad range of design influences, from the pure functionalism of Bauhaus and Dieter Rams to the more casual approach of Ingo Maurer and other free spirits.

“Sometimes, the surprise can be found in a grand gesture; other times, it’s in a small, almost inconspicuous detail.”
