In 2011, Florian Kallus and Sebastian Schneider founded design studio kaschkasch. The studio specializes in furniture, lighting design, and art direction, serving a variety of national and international clients.For kaschkasch, collaboration is a vital aspect of their work as a duo, and they place a strong emphasis on discussion. Their approach to design is grounded in the belief that design should be helpful and practical, expressing character and attitudes through restrained expressiveness. This design philosophy is reflected in kaschkasch's formal language, which combines simplicity and beauty, balancing function with formal severity. The studio's results challenge conventional norms and offer fresh solutions to everyday needs.Kallus and Schneider share a background that blends practical, hands-on experience with academic education, having both trained as cabinet makers before studying product design. This combination of skills and knowledge informs all of kaschkasch's work, incorporating traditional craftsmanship techniques with innovative, disruptive approaches and new technological solutions.
