The first project was realised in 2008 in cooperation with the Mainz-based Schott AG, one of the world’s largest producers of high-tech glasses and glass products. The company has developed a variety of trend-setting materials in the fields of architecture, product design and lightning that provide a wide range of previously untapped possibilities for design. The joint cooperation project set out to discover new and previously unknown relationships between the materials in order to develop innovative application possibilities for the immediate living area. During this project, particular emphasis was placed on glass fibre products.
