Max Frommeld is a product designer who works directly with materials and manufacturing processes. Notions of functionality, structure, and play are central to his thinking. His interest in designing and making objects stems in part from his upbringing in Ulm in southern Germany, a region with a strong heritage in industrial design and manufacturing. The objects he makes cover a wide range of uses - from spoons, tables, and buildings to aesthetic objects - always with the intention of affecting and possibly improving people’s daily routines. He was given the furniture design award by The Arts Foundation in 2017.
