Haus Otto

Haus Otto is an artist and design duo working across the fields of industrial- and object design, space and creative direction. By bridging and blending different subjects and fields of practice, Haus Otto conceptually explores the environmental and contextual aspect of design today and creates transformative and humorous interventions. Not only thinking in objects but systems, Haus Otto investigates and illuminates the larger context of everyday objects, ranging from production and distribution systems to ecological cycles and material research. The studio was established by Patrick Henry Nagel and Nils Körner, who both hold a diploma in industrial design from the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, Germany. They have also studied at the Alvar Aalto University in Helsinki and at the San José State University in California.
