New project

formtrefflich

The Stuttgart design label formtrefflich was founded in 2012 and resulted from the collaboration between two graduate designers: Nicole Walger, who mainly works conceptually in jewelry – and Stefanie Prießnitz, who develops product designs and product lines. DON developed out of an idea for a new kind of jewelry packaging. And from DON developed the convenient design objects DON kid and DON big. For the future, more innovative products for living space are in the works. Roomily beautiful – and simply formtastic... 

Nicole Walger studied "Design for Jewelry and Appliances" at Pforzheim University of Design. In 2000, she was granted a scholarship (German Academic Exchange Service) for the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence (USA). In 2001, she graduated with a final project entitled "Deformation". She then worked as a freelance designer in her own workshop in Stuttgart in the following years. Nicole Walger has won the award for young designers of the 24th German Packaging Competition (2001), the Materialica Design Award (2003), the Design Award of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Koblenz (2003), the Inhorgenta Innovation Award (2003) as well as the Inhorgenta Award in the category "Selection" (2011). www.nicole-walger.de

Production is more than just a matter of form

formtrefflich manufactures exclusively in Germany-for example in close cooperation with the Backnanger workshops of the charity Paulinenpflege Winnenden or the rehabilitation center and clinic Rudolf-Sophien-Stift. People who are mentally challenged work at these unique production sites in a sewing shop. They follow the individual steps of production to the completion of a product and thereby experience how something beautiful is formed in their hands. The various colors create a positive atmosphere, and the women and men are given the opportunity to prove their manual skills and to take on a personal challenge.
