Christoph Jenni
Christoph Jenni' s design combines two very different social heritages. He was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1976, the child of Swiss immigrants. He decided to study in his parents' homeland and graduated in industrial design at the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Aarau. Until 2010 he worked as a furniture designer at the Hannes Wettstein studio in Zurich. Christoph describes his work as a synthesis of his Brazilian heritage and his Swiss education. His approach is focused on research and innovation.
His work with leading Italian furniture manufacturer Maxdesign gives him the freedom to create modern classics. Christoph's work has earned him a nomination for the prestigious Swiss Design Award. Since 2015, Christoph Jenni has been a lecturer in product design at the Lucerne Hochschule (HSLU) in Switzerland.
