how to work

to develop new ideas in an unconstrained atmosphere, to create functional innovation, and to work closely with the manufacturer in the implementation phase. Function, ergonomics and design are individual, and must of course the expectations of future users.
Design is the intension to concretize ideas,
-simple, but significant-

about

Joachim Nees actually wanted to become a civil engineer, being particularly interested in building bridges. But after he had completed his intermediate exams at the University of Darmstadt, he visited an exhibition on industrial design. Both the content and the exhibits made a lasting impression on him – and led to him changing his field of study. He enrolled on the Industrial Design course, and completed his studies with great success.
So what is it in designing that so interests Joachim Nees? He attaches great importance to quality – of design as well as of materials. “And I am always delighted if a successful feature complements the content of a piece of furniture like a light-bulb moment,” says Joachim Nees. He has taken to heart the much-quoted phrase  ‘form follows function’ – in fact, he has now adopted it as his philosophy.
He is not interested in designs that indulge in flights of fancy;  he wants to transform people’s requirements into furniture. He approaches ideas very relaxed and open.
His successes speak for themselves: well-known design prizes such as the Red Dot Design Award, the IF Design Award, the German Design Award and the Interior Innovation Award  (Best of Best) provide the evidence.
Joachim Nees always concentrates on the future user – the sole and constant focus of his creative work.
Man is the measure of all things, not just ergonomic.

what

Design is the endeavour to give a shape to ideas and concepts. 
But which evaluation criteria is it subject to? That’s simple: durability. Good design steers clear of fashionable trends and is based on timeless ideas, balanced proportions and stylish taste. And that needs to be permanent, so that the aesthetics of a design last as long as its functionality.
