Studio B. Severin is a design studio with a conceptual, aesthetic and material-research driven approach, aiming to bridge between craft, industry, object, and user.
Believing in the value of concepts, their works investigate how objects acquire meaning by being part of personal as well as universal narratives, and reflects themes of transformation, identification, and belonging.
Challenging the assumption that design should aim to create symbols of a perfect life, the studio researches design strategies that celebrate the full spectrum of our existence, embracing its impermanence and unpredictability.
The resulting objects can be described as products with an artistic expression and have been shown nationally and internationally at prestigious fairs, in museums and biennales.
- The studio is based in Berlin and was founded by Birgit Severin.
Birgit holds a degree in Psychology (MA Cognitive Neuroscience, Maastricht University, 2008) and Design (MA Contextual Design, Design Academy Eindhoven, 2013). Next, to her practice as a designer, she organises workshops and teaches design at universities in Berlin on a regular base.
Guillaume graduated from Design School of Nantes (BA Product Design, 2007) before conducting his MA in Social Design (Design Academy Eindhoven, 2013). After first founding his own studio in Paris he moved to Berlin in 2015.
