Freia Achenbach´s practice approaches design as a cultural medium - a way of shaping the domestic and social environment - and evolves through a continuous process of researching into material gestures, narratives and the symbolic value of everyday objects. This approach translates into outcomes across a variety of scales, ranging from bespoke objects to public installations and industrial commissions.
Freia Achenbach holds a diploma in Industrial Design from the State Academy of Art and Design Stuttgart (2019). She is co-founder of anima ona, a collaborative practice engaged in multidisciplinary projects that seek to illuminate socio-ecological transformation processes. Since 2022, she has been teaching Product Design at the Karlsruhe University of Art and Design.
