Oliver Schick
Oliver Schick, a designer who studied product design in Saarbrücken, has established himself as a versatile creative force in design. He began his career as a freelance designer and later founded his design studio in 2005. Schick’s work spans a spectrum, moving between projects with an investigative character and more functional assignments. He values the narrative character and visual impact in his commissioned work, ensuring that everyday items, whether furniture or utensils, are neither dull nor predictable. Schick draws inspiration from diverse influences, navigating between the pure functionalism of Bauhaus and Dieter Rams and the more expressive and free-spirited approach of designers like Ingo Maurer.
