The TEAM


In 2006 Ania Bauer, Jacob Brinck, Lena Hirche und Ramon Toshiro Merker met in a cab – and founded the design collective llot llov. The young office community benefitted from the different educational backgrounds of its members and realized countless projects, products and art installations. Llot llov soon led to llot llov - ARTWORK SHOP GmbH and its autonomous production and distribution.


Recently the cast has undergone subtle changes and since beginning of 2014 Ania Bauer and Jacob Brinck are Head of Design.


In their office at Kottbusser Damm in Berlin Neukölln llot llov develop furniture, products, light and interiors and organize manufacturing and dispatch of their own label. According to the project the designers work in small teams or joint their professional skills to work on interdisciplinary tasks and are thus able to feed their diversified competence into the projects.


"Because of our love for old things, our fancy for the ordinary and our joy in finding new interpretations, every piece of our work bears llot llovs special signature. Our idea of design is multidimensional: we avoid the drawing of boundaries, setting our preference on the experimental. llot lov look at the world, take risks, learn, understand and interpolate the world in an illogical, intuitive and creative way."



Thinking about a piece of furniture intended for the collection and separation of trash, we first started to research household waste as such. Our intention was, to create an object that people like to use, because it makes itself felt in a room and it is useful and functional.


To find out whether and how recycling can be rewarding, we analyzed the nature of the different kinds of waste. Two things were of interest: the volume and how the trash made it from the kitchen to the trashcan/dustbin. Besides the collecting and sorting of waste we were fascinated by the process that domestic waste created in the mind of the consumer.
