STUDENT RESIDENCY INTERIOR DESIGN
„Happy Industrial“ is an interior design concept I developed for the interior design of a student residency in Vienna, combining the raw, functional elements of traditional industrial design with a vibrant, colorful, and inviting atmosphere. It adds a cheerful touch to the typical industrial style, making it perfect for a young audience like students. The design encourages personalization and fosters a positive, energetic environment, while still being practical and durable for everyday student life.

RESTAURANT INTERIOR DESIGN
„Landhaus meets Modern“ redesigns the organic restaurant Erbsenzählerei in Vienna, blending rustic country-house charm with modern urban elements. Natural materials, warm green tones, and suspended greenery create a cozy yet fresh atmosphere. Flexible wooden furnishings, thoughtful lighting, and acoustic panels ensure both comfort and functionality. The result is a welcoming, sustainable space that reflects the brand’s ecological values in a contemporary, inviting way.

HOTEL ROOM INTERIOR DESIGN
„The rebellion of the Secession“ merges the artistic ideals of the Vienna Secession with contemporary interior design. Drawing inspiration from key figures like Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, and Josef Hoffmann, the design incorporates signature motifs, materials, and a refined color palette. Gold accents, bold graphic patterns, and clean lines create a sophisticated and structured atmosphere.
Custom pattern collections and furniture pieces blend historical references with minimalist aesthetics – in the spirit of the Gesamtkunstwerk envisioned by the Secessionists.

PATTERN DESIGN PROJECTS
THE ETERNAL WHISPER OF GINKGO: A Pattern Design
„The Eternal Whisper of Ginkgo“ is a unique pattern design that draws inspiration from the timeless beauty of ginkgo leaves and fruits. The motifs, originally hand-drawn by me, capture the intricate elegance of nature, before being carefully digitized to create a refined, luxurious aesthetic. With a touch of old-school charm, this design combines classic sophistication with modern digital craftsmanship, offering a serene yet opulent feel perfect for those who appreciate both luxury and nature’s quiet whispers.

TEXTURED ECHOES: A Bold Fusion of Frottage and Watercolor
A bold and dynamic pattern emerged through highly experimental drafting, pushing the boundaries of traditional design. By combining the techniques of frottage and watercolor, rich textures and fluid, organic forms were created, resulting in a vibrant and expressive composition. This fusion of methods gives the design a sense of movement and depth, making it both visually striking and uniquely tactile.

DIGITAL SKETCHES
SKETCH BASED ON Eisenman Architects‘ Design
What you see in the image is a hand-drawn sketch that I later digitally edited, developed based on the design by Eisenman Architects. Founded by Peter Eisenman, the firm is known for its deconstructivist approach, creating bold, geometric structures that challenge traditional architectural forms. Their designs often blend theory with innovative spatial compositions, making them a key influence in contemporary architecture.
PRODUCT DESIGN:
Wood and Resin Fusion
These product designs of a wall clock and a table combines natural wood panels with rounded epoxy resin elements, creating a harmonious balance between organic textures and modern aesthetics. The contrast between the warm, natural grain of the wood and the glossy, fluid resin adds depth and uniqueness to each piece, making it both functional and visually striking.
PRODUCT DESIGN: Adaptive Lounge Duo
This product design features two round lounge chairs with an integrated glass table that seamlessly adapts to their shape. The modular design allows for flexible positioning, enabling users to arrange and use the chairs individually or together. The combination of comfort, functionality, and elegant form creates a versatile seating experience with a modern aesthetic.
