Osko+Deichmann, designer,
founded 2005 in Berlin, Germany
Simplicity, smartness, surprise. In the work of Osko+Deichmann,
simplicity and surprise always go together. When they
are translating their ideas into objects, they are not satisfied
until they arrive at something unexpected or surprising
and done in the simplest way possible. In this way Osko+
Deichmann create designs which are surprising and smart.
In 1996 in an atmosphere of constant change and seemingly
endless possibilities, Osko+Deichmann both began studying
at the University of Fine Arts Berlin. Though they were
from different backgrounds, they soon started to collaborate.
This amazing team-work produced results beyond their individual
efforts. In 2006 they introduced the occasional table
Ponton for Ligne Roset. One year later they presented the
light object Abyss by Kundalini and the Clip Chair for Moooi
at the Salone di Mobile in Milan. In the autumn of 2007 Blå
Station launched the sofa series Pebble. In February of 2010
the Straw Chair was introduced at the Stockholm Furniture
Fair and received the +1 award for best product in show. The
works of Osko+Deichmann have been shown at the Louvre
in Paris, Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein and Berlin,
Cube Gallery in Manchester, MoMA in Berlin, the Guggenheim
Museum in Berlin, VIA Gallery in Paris and 107 Rivoli
in Paris.
