David Geckeler

For the Danish manufacturer Muuto David Geckeler developed the Nerd chair in 2011, and for which he was awarded the Beckers International Design Award in the same year. Two years later, together with his colleague Frank Michels, he founded the design studio Geckeler Michels in Berlin. In context of his design approach, Geckeler focuses on an attentive and analytical view of his environment; for him the most important principles for good design are simplicity, precise, innovative detail solutions and courage. The aim of the design studio is to create a lasting fascination with the product for the user, which Geckeler Michels achieved through an artful combination of design history, contemporary techniques and digital design methods, creating objects whose functional approach is completed by impressive details and a disarming logic.
