Clara is a designer, based in Eindhoven & Cologne. Her practice is moved and often initiated through language, which she deconstructs and materializes as much physically as digitally. For her words and text, become the ultimate driver of tangible power plays she aims to investigate throughout her design practice. She received her BA from the School of Design in Pforzheim, during which she lived and worked in New York. Her research driven series of glass objects entitled ‘Waters’,  was awarded as the winner of the Future Objects & Materials category of one-year long research program Water Futures at A/D/O in Brooklyn. She is currently doing her Masters in Contextual Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven and is part of the multidisciplinary group Multilogue.
