Morgana Hohenstein and Thomas Schoger – both part of the organiser of WDC 2026 – beside Marina-Elena Wachs, at Frankfurt Book Fair 2024.

– workshop based, analytics with trend research, based on market provided systems but invisionary for futures resilient concepts, with help of swot analysis and interactive team spirit, we are looking with you together for your solution.

– mapping in different levels of perspectives, with different media – hands on to AI based tools – sketching with different materials and diving into spaces of embodied experiences.

– cross medial, cross cultural and with music;) colourful languages, in synergetic and synaesthic path, we are creating together new resilient systems and perhaps products – objects if needed.

– feel invited for the next step of interlinked understanding, to talk with different senses.

best Marina-Elena and team;)

Lighting planer and inustrial designer Ulrike Brandi and industrial designer / master -tailor Marina-Elena Wachs are collaborating since the 1990s. Together they are always reflecting, disscussing new, innovative bio synthetics, testing for different resilient applications with different paramenter…not only about lighting possibilities… to talk about innovative design developments in architecture, landscape design and automotive / interior design. Let’s talk about the change: feel invited to contact us; let us dicsuss, how could we integrate more bio-synthetics within architecture in Europe?

Interdisciplinary working research groups are the glory and worth as its best. The group ‚light goes‘  for light development…

…represents as best as design can. Lightning productes made of pure sources like wood and glass, or by composites like textile based concrete as solid experience for high quality of enlighting spaces. The interdisciplinary group of lightning planer Ulrike Brandi (Hamburg), the architects Ernst Ulle Tillmanns (4A Architekten Stuttgart) and Manuel Windmann (VW Braunschweig) and the Industrial Designer Marina-Elena Wachs (marina wachs – material & design, Braunschweig) played seriously with new material solutions in design.

Interdisciplinary designing groups going hand in hand with solid product design – sustainable as it could be – for prototypes, ideas and resilient results.
