Thoughts, new projects and hello from STUDIO OINK
The year 2020 started off wonderfully and was then stopped abruptly in March. Everything was paralyzed. Corona was there and the world stood still. Public institutions were closed and contact with the outside world should be avoided. With a toddler at home, this initially meant no work for us.
We spent a lot of time as a family in our summer house and worked mostly in the evenings when our son was sleeping or took turns. It was uncertain how everything would go on. However, we noticed that through this strange time, when they were at home a lot as a family, people suddenly developed a different relationship with their four walls. They quickly realized how important it is to have a protective and personal home that is focused on what it should be - a quiet and protective place for the whole family. This is not about high-end luxury or smart homes. This is about something very rudimentary, a need for security and reliability. The home should be a place where everyone can develop, but also retreat. A place that appreciates all residents equally and gives them the feeling of having “arrived” - without being “locked up”. And it does not matter whether the home is bought or rented. For our well-being and our psyche, it is incredibly important in which environment we move and with what and with how much we surround ourselves. It is still a mystery to us why - especially in Germany - an unbelievable amount of money is spent on a new car or even on the shell of the dwelling - but the interior usually remains loveless and lifeless and is filled with cheap furniture and artificial surfaces never allowed to age- who must never live.
Perhaps this extraordinary time had a positive side effect and still encourages many people to think. What do I surround myself with and what do I fill my sensory impressions with - what do I absorb?
In fact, we received a request from a Seattle family who asked themselves this very question at this strange time and asked for help to tailor their four walls to their family needs. In a normal apartment - not a luxurious house. It is a wonderful job for us and we are very happy to work on this project. We are currently working on the basic atmosphere, as well as the predominant materials and colors that will carry the concept. In the meantime, all of our projects continue to run normally and we are very excited about every single result.
At this point, thank you to all of our customers who trust us and who believe in our interior design approach, our corporate philosophy and our moral principles. We work for the people, the residents, with all their needs - not for the industry and the marketing of their latest technology.

SALONE DEL MOBILE ::: DESIGN WEEK MILAN 2019 STUDIO OINK x KUMI MOOD with "Dry paint and all the bended branches"
Dry paint and all the bended branches is a poetic symbiosis of the objects of KUMI MOOD and STUDIO OINK.
„Play! I called. I just want to play!
I smell the wood. Such a scent! And how strong you are! What can we experience? I wake up and everything is very colorful and smooth. I walk. A small branch brushes my shoulder, a bird comes by. I take a deep breath. I keep walking. A butterfly tickles my ear. I lean on your trunk. And again I take a deep breath.
Suddenly a crack, where is everything? I turn the light on.“
The objects and furniture of KUMI MOOD and STUDIO OINK refer to a world of childlike poetry and imagination. Silently narrated stories and experiences combine both works and present themselves in simple forms and aesthetic colors.
Dreamy pictures become real and create a world of their own.
With their brand Kumi Mood, Cäcilia Holtgreve and Benno Sattler merge art, design and craft into atmospheric, individual and cheerful design objects. Their hand-drawn designs are characterized by inspiring colors and finely tuned shapes. With great attention to details they create character-strong objects that feel comfortable as a toy in the children's room or as a furnishing object in the living space.
Lea Korzeczek and Matthias Hiller develop as STUDIO OINK tailor-made high-quality interior concepts for private and public spaces. The studio has also specialized in the field of object and product design and realizes independent limited small series of furniture and objects. The philosophy of STUDIO OINK is the balance between poetry and function, between simplicity and playfulness.
