컬렉션: Laura Gämmerler

Laura Gämmerler (b.1994) is a German designer that lives and works in Lisbon. In 2015 she began her studies of design at the Free University of Bolzano in Italy which she graduated from in November 2018. Followed by internships with the industrial designers Pedro Sottomayor in Lisbon and Raffaella Mangiarotti in Milan, she decided to apply for the Master of “Spatial Design” at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts at the Faculty of Architecture. She graduated in June 2022 with her thesis on “Treehouses made from CLT” ("Casa de Fora") which she realised in collaboration with Arolla, a company that produces Cross Laminated Timber in Portugal.
After her thesis she continued to work with Arolla in Lisbon as a freelancer and in the meanwhile developed her first official product in collaboration with the designer Pedro Sottomayor – the GEMA lightning family for ZEITRAUM. In her work as a designer she likes to experiment different materials and learn about production techniques. Her focus mostly lies on aesthetics and composition, in both product and spatial design.
Well connected to the traditional context of Portugal, she decided to broaden her knowledge of ceramics and therefore started a course on tile restoration and painting, to learn more about this cultural heritage and potentially continue working in this direction as a designer.
