_ABOUT
Sebastian Kommer is a German designer based in Zurich. He studied Industrial Design in Kiel and complemented his education with periods in Eindhoven, Halle, and Berlin before completing a Master’s degree in the Open Design class at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg. His work explores modular systems at the intersection of object and space, combining conceptual thinking with hands-on prototyping and material experimentation.
Through his independent practice and his role as a teaching assistant in the Industrial Design program at Zurich University of the Arts, he engages with the ongoing redefinition of design in response to cultural, technological, and ecological challenges. His projects aim to translate systemic ideas into tangible forms, offering new ways of thinking about objects, structures, and the environments they inhabit.
