Imme Vogel is an architect and product designer. She is one that likes to think laterally and to break a rule here and there. She tries new things and collects antique designer pieces. When the few left over pleating factories in Germany advised her to give up her idea around new methods of leather pleating, without further ado, she and her team decided to build their embossing molds themselves and tested different types and qualities of leather until the result met their expectations. ‘I find inspiration equally in nature as in architecture.’ To me the design of a product is perfect, once it leaves nothing more to renounce. I am fascinated by nature’s geometric shapes, the golden ratio or the Fibonacci sequence. Simple and unexplainably perfect. By the way, already in kinder garden my favorite color was black, why the teacher thought something was wrong with me. But I always liked the fastidious. The best way to understand good design is with the example of a black T-Shirt. How does the material feel? How is the cut? How is the fabrication? When reduced to these components, ‚good design‘ becomes apparent.‘ Imme Vogel is living with her husband, her 4-year old son and her pug Coco near Karlsruhe in Germany.
