Gerry Christensen

Now calling Augsburg, Germany home, I first launched my interdisciplinary design studio in Chicago, 2003. My studio is dedicated to creating pieces that not only captivate the eye but also stand the test of time, by creating exceptional design through the harmonious blend of innovation, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

I believe every object has its own unique story to tell, and I’m passionate about uncovering it! My design process is fueled by curiosity and discovery, asking the right questions to find truly creative and sustainable solutions. This isn’t just about making things—it’s about creating meaningful, purposeful designs that not only bring something special to the world but also stand the test of time.

Sustainability is central to my approach. By creating objects that are built to last, using local resources and responsible methods, I ensure my designs contribute to a more thoughtful, less wasteful world. Every piece is designed with the future in mind, blending artistry with environmental responsibility.

In every creation, I aim to evoke emotions and inspire connections. My designs are not merely functional items; they are meaningful expressions that fostering a deeper connection to the user and enriching their lives. I believe that the best designs transcend trends, offering timeless elegance and enduring value.

As I continue this journey, I invite you to explore my world of design—a place where creativity thrives, craftsmanship reigns, and sustainability shapes the future of design. Discover how each piece not only serves a purpose but also tells a story, inviting you to be part of a narrative that celebrates the beauty of thoughtful design.

When I’m not deep into a project, I’m equally excited about teaching. As an educator, I share my enthusiasm for design, encouraging my students to dive into their own curiosity and explore the endless possibilities that come from asking “What if?” My approach is all about sparking creativity and inspiring others to find their voice through design, while also thinking critically about sustainability and how their work impacts the planet.
