Simon Schmitz is a German designer who was born in Arnsberg. He studied Design at the School of Art of Hamburg, where he quickly discovered the freedom and responsibility of being a designer. Schmitz graduated in 2017 and went on to found his own design studio, based in Hamburg, where he has collaborated with various brands throughout the years.
Schmitz's work incorporates mechanical movement, utilising it as a way to express his love for mechanical principles and emphasising how things work. He believes that if the user of his product understands the functioning process then they are more likely to generate a conscious interaction with the object.
"To me, lighting is the most unconstrained area of furniture design. You can look at it as purely functional or turn it into an artistic exercise. In my work, you will see a bit of both. To me a light is more of a sculpture than a piece of furniture - I put a form of dramaturgy into my objects, to have them tell their own story instead of me doing it for them. Mechanical movement is a signature element of my work. I want to express my love for mechanical principles by putting an emphasis on the way things work, move or behave." - Simon Schmitz
