Info
My experience spans furniture, textiles, footwear and consumer products. Most recently, I spent six years at On Running, where I held a senior role in Colour & Material Design, shaping design direction across multiple product categories and collections. Previously, I worked at Tom Dixon, Barber Osgerby and Patricia Urquiola Studio, developing large-scale projects for and in collaboration with companies including Vitra, IKEA and Hydro. I was also a Designer in Residence at the Design Museum London. My work has been exhibited and published internationally.
I am particularly interested in innovation driven by materials, processes, construction methods or emerging technologies, translating technical possibilities into relevant, manufacturable products. I work across research, prototyping and production with designers, architects, engineers, manufacturers and suppliers, using design to bridge technical possibility, user needs and product identity.
I hold an MA in Industrial Design from the Berlin University of the Arts and studied at NABA Milan. Today I work independently from Zürich across product, material and design strategy projects.
Currently open to commissions, collaborations and strategic partnerships. Get in touch: hello@stephaniehornig.co
