This collection marks a significant evolution in their product design journey, reflecting a shared studio language that beautifully marries their distinct creative disciplines. While Flack Studio brings a nuanced understanding of space and situational aesthetics, Volker Haug contributes a keen expertise in the technical and material aspects of lighting design. Together, they navigate a design process that is both playful and cohesive, allowing for an organic exploration of new ideas and forms.
"Me and You" not only illustrates the functional symbiosis between these disciplines but also highlights the personal bonds and mutual respect that underpin the studios' collaboration. The result is a collection that embodies the studios' belief in the power of materials to convey beauty and functionality, ensuring that each piece resonates deeply within its intended environment.
