Alexander Lorenz

To design and re-invent the same things again and again signifies the possibility to extract new aspects from life and the illusion to be able to manipulate it. The form of an object expresses a certain mood, a certain feeling, a certain way of life into which a designer betakes himself for a short time, finding then himself back again in normal life – possibly a little bit changed. Because the volatility of each condition manifests itself in the variety of its appearances, discovering new and unknown appearances is the great adventure of designing. Therefore, the style of a designer may not be what he has discovered but the way and how he tries to discover. To Lorenz, chance and the ability to understand and to perhaps interfere creatively beyond the specific purpose is the most beautiful and exciting aspect of design.
