With an emphasis on product, furniture, and architectural design, René’s approach highlights honest and clear expressions that seamlessly combine function with aesthetics. His creations are intentionally reduced, offering a counterpoint to today’s overstimulated environment.
The aim is to design objects that are not only functional but also profound, establishing a dialogue between space, object, and person, built on transparency and simplicity.
René’s background in product design and technical development, along with extensive experience in architecture, shapes his interdisciplinary perspective.
His work integrates objects and spaces into a unified design context, bridging the gap between design and architecture. Through studio é, René continues to push the boundaries of design, creating objects and spaces that respond to contemporary needs while embracing timeless values.
