OBJECT DESIGNER

STUDIO

Welcome to Object Designer, a multidisciplinary design studio based in Berlin. Founded and led by me, Tobias Trautmann, Object Designer approaches graphic, product, interior, and spatial design not as separate disciplines, but as one interconnected whole.

Rather than following mainstream conventions, I focus on developing tailored and distinctive design solutions that respond directly to each project’s needs. As a young studio, I am open to projects of all scales and enjoy working in a flexible and collaborative way.

BIO

I’m Tobias Trautmann (*1989), a Berlin-based designer and artist. My development has been shaped by a combination of studies in transportation design and product design, as well as through close collaboration with outstanding professionals:

Prof. Nils Krüger, CEO of büro+staubach, with whom I worked intensively during my studies at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin, particularly on my master’s thesis, Kokon (2020).
Murat Günak, former Head of Design at Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, during my time as a studentemployee at ONOmotion (2018 – 2019).
Johann König, gallery owner, during my role as gallery manager at König Galerie (2024 – 2025).

Since 2021, I have been working as a freelance designer. Alongside client projects, I create objects exploring the intersection of design and art.
