Katrin Sonnleitner

Katrin Sonnleitner plays with objects, spaces, and existing ideas in order to find unexpected interpretations of the familiar. Based in Germany, Katrin’s concepts pull from ordinary and universal entities, deconstruct past notions, and finally deliver something new – something like The Puzzleperser, a rug-slash-puzzle made from recyclable synthetic and natural rubber and synthetic fibers. The Puzzleperser (shown) looks like a Persian rug when assembled, but requires the work and interpretation of the builder for it to function as such. Other objects by Katrin that similarly behave include the Immobel, a collapsible table that offers strange storage options, and the po*od, a translucent modular paravent that allows the user to play with both light and space. Katrin is available for space, project, and object development, so if complex concepts are your deconstructed cup of plant life, head here for the full run down.
