In regions that are rich in forests, shingles as means for roofing and cladding go back to early forms of building and construction.
Shingles are arranged similarly to formations of scales found in the skins of fish or snakes, in butterfly wings or the dorsal shells of armadillos. Let's start from here.
Lukas Wegwerth’s design practice is shaped by his interest in craft and the practical application of his research explorations as well as his interest in natural processes and vernacular material systems.
He co-leads the studio Silva Systems at Design Academy Eindhoven.
Corinna Dehn has worked as a Senior Menswear Designer for Y-3, working in close collaboration with Yohji Yamamoto’s team on crafted garments, aiming for emotional durability.
Following her interest in the potentials of design as means for empowerment and resocialization, she facilitates design workshops for imprisoned young men in Berlin together with NGO Tatort Zukunft.
