Paul Loebach New York, US
Paul Loebach is a furniture and product designer based in New York City and Berlin, Germany. Paul’s background comes from traditional woodworking, handed down from a lineage of family craftsman. He applies his hands-on material approach to a design philosophy that covers a range of industrially manufactured objects from furniture and lighting to everyday houshold products. Paul’s design focuses on materials, experience, and the emotive meaning of objects. His practice stems from a belief that each design presents a unique opportunity to invoke change, and to adapt objects to the functional needs of our ever-evolving lifestyles.
