NI-NA-NI-RU-K – creative freedom in design

In 2025 a new chapter starts: I´m working independently again.

It took me some time to get back into relying solely on my intuition. For many years, I worked as part of a team and could count on honest feedback and in-depth discussions about our design work. I would like to take this opportunity to thank David Antonin, my long-time studio partner through the end of 2024 and for more than a decade, for this exciting and thrilling journey.

Now it’s time to go my own path. And once again, it feels like a whole new experience! I’m creating new ideas, interior stylings and designs for new products and new clients. The starting point for the new STUDIO NIRUK was in June 2025. I presented the NIRUK Edition at Tokyo´s Interior & Lifestyle, a collection of small, limited-edition designs that combines design and creation while expressing materials and craftsmanship in a unique way. Together with Sandy Karstädt of welcome design pr and her label mimicri, we presented exquisite products to the Japanese audience. Edition NIRUK is an ongoing collection, published by myself. It embodies creative freedom in design and direct collaboration with European manufacturers and artisans. Each piece highlights the connection between design and craftsmanship and reflects the studio’s spirit of constant exchange between creativity, know-how, manufacturing techniques, materials, and the love of creation.

More to come soon.
