Rupert Kopp

Rupert Kopp was born in the German town of Horb am Neckar and studied jewellery design at the Fachhochschule Pforzheim. In the basement of the school's sculpture department Kopp discovered a welding machine, which led him to develop his Diploma project as mobile, interactive light objects. After completing his studies, the designer began to create furniture and other objects for fairs and projects for companies. In 1998, he founded an office in Berlin, and since then, he has worked for renowned companies such as Zumtobel and Adidas as interior designer and product designer; however, his passion for furniture and lighting has remained and he has realised cooperations with the likes of Nimbus or Nils Holger Moormann. Rupert Kopp's works have received numerous awards and are part of many international design collections.
