About

Adrian Weidmann is a London-based product and furniture designer with a background in Swiss engineering.

His degree project won him a James Dyson Award, a nomination for the Design Preis Schweiz and a scholarship from the Swiss Federal Office, with which he moved to London in 2008.

Over the following decade, he worked for Industrial Facility, Foster + Partners, Heatherwick Studio and Marc Newson.

Working with these personalities, the involved engineers, architects, designers and artists in various projects gave him a good understanding of not only a broad range of designs, but also in different scales and changing requirements.

His involvement goes from Bill Viola’s video installation for London’s St. Paul’s cathedral, over a large and globally produced bathroom range in various materials to public furniture in Marseille’s harbor further to Prada’s handcrafted silver sailing trophy and continued with a fly-knitted bag for Louis Vuitton.

During these years, he also chased his own projects, freelanced and did commissions such as an Airstream caravan’s interior for a music producer or a luxury car fragrance for the start-up brand Charabanc.

Honest materials, modern production processes, crafts, ergonomics, immaculate finishes and fully serviceable end products are only a few characteristics of his designs.

Natural and sustainable materials and processes have always been the main focus in his work and will remain a strong foundation for long-lasting and well-aging products.

Some clients he worked with and learned from:

BMC bicycles, Lacie, Issey Miyake, Muji, Design Museum, Molteni&C, Louis Poulsen, Walter Knoll, Lumina lighting, Bill Viola Studio, Porcelanosa, Tribeca Holdings, Charabanc, Taschen, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Margent Farm.
