Simon Stanislawski lives and works as an artist and designer in Berlin and Hamburg. Even though he would prefer living as a tour guide and shepherd in the dolomites- he’s happy with how things are atm. In his work the focus mostly lies on three things: fun, fun and fun. He’s passionate about bridging traditional furniture design with innovative, eco-conscious practices and the sculptural freedom and political aspects of art. His design expertise lies in playing with sheet materials like metal and wood, but his recent fascination with foam has led him to explore unconventional avenues.
