We are pleased to invite you to the inaugural lecture of Johanna Seelemann, who will take over the project professorship in the Product Design Study Programm at the Kunsthochschule Kassel in the winter semester 2025/26. All interested parties are cordially invited.
Johanna Seelemann studied Contextual Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven (Master) and Product Design at the Iceland Academy of the Arts in Reykjavík (Bachelor). Before founding her own studio in 2020, she worked at the Italian design studio Formafantasma on projects such as Ore Streams and Cambio.
Studio Johanna Seelemann's field of activity ranges from conceptual design and product development to exhibition and video projects and interdisciplinary collaborations. Her work examines everyday products and their materiality, global supply chains and the development of sustainable design methods.
Seelemann's designs are created through processes of substitution, adaptation and resilience. In the process, supposedly self-evident everyday objects are placed in new contexts - always with the aim of creating optimistic and alternative future scenarios that make hidden structures and dependencies visible.
