Berlin-based design duo David Geckeler and Frank Michels display a sensibility and savvy well beyond their age. The pair, who met at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, founded their studio in 2013 in a bid to fuse Geckeler’s feel for engineering and technology with Michels’s intuition for narrative and simple constructions. “We fight through complicated questions and different positions to ultimately end up with a fruitful solution,” says Michels, referring to the creative dialogue that forms the base for their collaboration. Their first joint discourse includes the Nerd chair and barstool for Muuto, while more recent creative output has instantiated in designs that are “an interplay between graphic and geometric elements by playing with volumes confined by thinner boundaries.” Ossa, a stackable storage system that resembles a pile of moving boxes, was presented at Milan’s Salone Satellite 2014 and is expected to be in production shortly. For 2015, look for a set of chairs and a collection of tableware.

Arguably not a new idea in a region that gave the world the flat-pack, Finnish designer Olli Mustikainen is eager to give the proven concept a well-needed upgrade. His Nappi sofa table, exhibited at Milan’s Salone Satellite 2014, is a prime example of the next generation in self-assembly, where quality materials merge with a considerably simplified human effort. “I wanted to create a table which can be assembled and disassembled without tools,” says Mustikainen. The designer, who is set to receive his degree in industrial design at the Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences later this year, ascribes his clever “Scandi with a twist” style to the adolescent building of wooden huts in the forests around Lappeenranta, his hometown. Through always exploring how to best utilize the properties of raw materials, Mustikainen is working on a product line for a domestic industrial company, as well as lending his services in 3-D modeling and prototype-making out of his Helsinki-based studio.
