INDUSTRIAL DESIGN WORKS
HI, I‘M PAUL. I am an Industrial and Transportation Designer Thus, I consider good design a result of from the Munich Area, always looking for holistic considerations, conclusive storytelling, challenges and interesting job opportunities. teamwork and a high craftmanship standard, driven by passion. I gained design experience in diverse fields reaching from industrial machines over cycling At work I‘m proud of my high conceptual skills, and action sports, but also various visionary problem solving on meta- and sublevel, ideation projects focused on design thinking. and concept visualization skills. Having done numerous pitch projects on a regular basis, I I have a great affinity for transportation design learned to remain level-headed in stressful and cars, and also had the opportunity to gain situations and already gained first experience some experience working professionally on in leading small task groups of 3-4 people. commercial vehicles. When I‘m not doing design stuff, I hit the gym, I believe that underlying strategies, concepts play basketball or ride my bicycles. I‘m also and a high recognition value are vital for into experimental (electronic) music, big cities, successful products. streetart, cooking and eating good.

...AND (SOME OF) THE CLIENTS I WORKED FOR
Overall I had the great opportunity to gain insight into projects from various branches. Starting from classic industrial design jobs like industrial machine and utility vehicle design, over lifestyle-branches with a stress on exciting styling, over to interior and fair stand design, I claim to have a wide experience area at a fairly young age. The works I‘ve done include various concept steps, depending on the project. They start from crafty stuff such as (a whole lot of) ideation sketchwork over design and concept visualization. My ability to think strategically and brand-oriented helped me to work successfully on various visual brand language and design thinking projects.

CAESTRA PRODUCT DESIGN BACHELOR THESIS
My bachelor degree project has been the complete design process of a product to „create an environment of relaxation and well-being“. The final concept is an outdoor daybed with an integrated sun screen as well as a water nebulization system used for cooling the user. A particular feature of this idea has been an integrated steam generator, turning the product into an open steam bath. The further task has been the creation of a full business model, sourcing of the parts and a manufacturing costs estimation.

Another aspiring market emerges in the consumers‘ tendency of creating home wellness oases, which is a consequence of the cocooning megatrend. Thus, the project task has been to create an item for wellness use at home or as a commercial item for „third places“. Considering the trend of Neo-Ecology,

The wooden laying surface with integrated shade folding inside the laying surface is inspired by traditional boat building. It is the warm, organic, handcrafted part, which is in physical contactwith the user.
The white, clean hull base resembles a cloud and stands for advanced technology and hygiene.
DESIGN CONCEPT
The finalization required a refinement regarding design issues and material sourcing. Concerning sale strategies I decided to target strategic partnerships with wellness spas, instead of relying on solely on classic distribution channels and consumer target groups. Commercial clients are likely to invest more in wellness items and better placement coverage with lesser effort can be achieved.
The shade is folding inside the laying surface, providing a fully integrated appearance.

FORD RESPONSIVE STEERING CONCEPT
We are heading towards fully autonomous cars, car sharing and e-mobility. From Sci-Fi-flicks over future predictions of car manufacturers we are being prepared for a world full of autonomous people carriers until one day personal mobility is directed by swarm intelligence. The original task of the Ford Design competition has been to „reinvent the steering wheel“, but if there won‘t be need of a driver, there‘s no need of a steering wheel as we know it. While minivans and saloons receive living room-inspired interior concepts, petrolheads will struggle with this development and the question to ask is, what happens to casual driving. The following works deal with the question, what a sports car interior might look like in a time of autonomous cars.

The Ford Responsive Steering Concept deals with the question what happens to the sports car, while the industry is heading towards autonomous vehicles. Based on the megatrend of simple technology it aims
It analyzes the driving situations and offers just-intime access to necessary functions allowing to avoid control systems, unstressing the driver and helping him focussing on the road.

Inspired by the workshop in Cologne, the responsive interior is a take on a future sports car interior. The first concept round envisions a floating console with a wide interface panel, which chooses the right interface depending on the driving mode.

URBAN LIGHT CONCEPT DESIGN FOR BAYER MATERIAL SCIENCE
The Urban Light Concept is selection of concepts for products made of lightweight, translucent foam. We created a vision of urban life in the year 2030, considering changes in demographics, macro- and megatrends. We suggested possible products and product areas, to utilize the advantages of the material and highlighted them with a distinctive shape language.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES The material of subject is a foam made of granules of thermoset plastic. Its‘ properties can be modified by using different grain material or color. In general, all thermoset plastic foams would turn out light, insulating, isolating, brittle and pressure-resistant. These properties indicate static use in architecture or interior design. Merging the material with shells of clear thermoplastics broadens the scope for use scenarios.

URBAN GREENHOUSE is a light, iconic multi-purpose building including an intelligent indoor community greenhouse for food, as well as work, leisure and recreation areas. The light and translucent foam offers light transmission and insulation, and is suitable for the creating an space for growing plants and offering a bright working environment. Open pored foams can be filled with a mixture of soil and gelatine to create green living walls and increase the capacity of the greenhouse.

is a showcase for the application of light translucent materials inside a light urban train. Embedding LEDs inside the material foamed up between acrylic freeform shapes, makes it possible to create light-emitting objects with interesting textures. The roof is light-transmitting while the train is in the daylight, while integrated solar cells collect energy to emit light while in underground areas. Flexible OLED layers under the acrylic shells allow to create interactive surfaces that blend in and out at need, serving as information panels for the passengers.

The rapid aging western population makes it inevitable to develop robotic help for care staff. Nigel offers a number of features to help older people managing their daily business. His small and likable appearance as well as the low-barrier interface on his shell helps him prevent barriers of contact. Electronic parts embedded in the translucent foam make them invulnerable against hits, bumps and heat while the foam aesthetics gives him an organic appearance

COMMERCIAL VEHICLES VARIOUS PROJECTS
I‘ve always been fascinated by cars and any other kind of transportation, thus, becoming a car designer has been a childhood dream. I feel lucky, that as an industrial desginer, I had the opportunity to work on many products that I have a strong affinity for. The following pages contain some professional works on commercial vehicles.

STILL 2025 INTERIOR
Project Lead: Ulrich Schweig (TEAMS DESIGN) Tasks: Research, Concept Ideation, 2D&3D Visualization In early 2016, I‘ve been responsible for the interior of a concept forklift for logistics giant Still. The objective has been the creation of a steering concept considering newest developments in autonomous logistics solutions.

Project Participants: Ulrich Schweig, Jaehyuk Jang, Helmar Roth, Oliver Keller, Meike Koldorf (TEAMS DESIGN) Tasks: Research, Concept Ideation, 2D Visualization I‘ve also taken part in the exterior ideation process for the Still pitch concept. The ideas reached from shape studies for the next „Still“ brand face to usability concepts concerning energy concepts, battery functionality and modularity within the whole product range.

Project Participants: Oliver Keller, Robert Striedieck, Paul Stawenow Tasks: Research, Concept Ideation, Key Sketches, 2D Visualization Late 2015 I helped the TEAMS design team to create a systemic design approach for Claas. I developed a concept for transforming the Claas brand values into design values and applying them to an exemplary tractor design.
