MATTHIAS SCHMITT: IT COULD ALSO BE DIFFERENT

Let’s imagine possible new paths beyond the traditional designs, product development, marketing and exploitation strategies. How can we achieve new impulses in design practice, development and utilisation?

Matthias Schmitt works as a consultant in the textile industry and for various fashion brands in the premium segment. In addition to his work as design strategist, as a lecturer for applied design research he is looking for new forms of design practice and innovative solutions towards a sustainable concept of design.
