About me

The work of Uli Budde investigates the well-known everyday object, transforming the familiar with new solutions which are both thoughtful and functional.
With a close relationship to familiar products, objects and situations, Buddes’ designs take on an easy understanding and acceptance into daily life - a clever simplicity with an unobtrusive presence.
Simple, formal interventions in the designs evoke the functional, aesthetic and poetic.


After studying at the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam/Germany and graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven/Netherlands,
Uli Budde started both his own design studio Studio Uli Budde and a collaboration officeoriginair with designer Ivan Kasner in 2005.
