About the Studio
Elisabeth Seidel founded her design studio in 2024 with a clear purpose: to create design that evokes joy and emotion. For her, design is a playful yet powerful medium capable of shaping atmospheres and transforming both people and places.
Guided by intuition and curiosity, Elisabeth works across materials and forms, exploring how the intangible can be translated into the tangible. At the heart of her practice lies a poetic sensitivity, expressed through material choices and formal language alike.
Scientific research often informs her projects, yet her process remains deeply hands-on. Design decisions emerge through experimentation, touch, failure, and iteration - an ongoing dialogue with the material. This intuitive and exploratory approach allows each project to evolve organically, grounded in both concept and making.
