The Passagen Interviews – Katja Gehrke
Katja Gehrke is a Stage and Interior Designer based in Mainz, Germany
What have you seen so far at Passagen which really caught your eye?
A lamp from Prandina, “Biluna S9”. It is a great floor lamp. Inside of it is a convex milky Plexiglas material so that you aren’t able to see the illuminant. And this creates a wonderful light – I could fall right into it …
What work you’ve seen will inspire your own work?
Simple works, which inspire me to try to make them myself, either the same way, or another way.
Which designer do you find interesting at Passagen so far?
designschneider and Donndorf Design. They have the courage to step into a new design field: burial design.
What work you’ve seen exemplifies the themes or trends of what’s to come?
I don’t see anything which creates a new trend.
What are the fresh visual surface effect themes and trends?
Glitter on print and embossing.
Which field is leading the others in terms of defining the next trends?
Fashion.
What are you still looking forward to seeing at the rest of the event?
More freaky things that will astonish me!
