Profile + CV

Brit Leissler has studied design at the Koeln International School of Design as well as the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. She has worked in communication & interface design as well as design management for various companies in Germany and Switzerland before coming to London, where she has graduated in June 2007 from the Royal College of Art with a M.A. in product design. She also has a background within the music genre known as Electronica as a singer and songwriter.

Her work is addressing the alienating nature of modern urban life, her objects prompt the rediscovery of lost basic emotions—referencing tactile, domestic forms but using touch and play to combat the monotony of urban life. Aware of the new reality of post-materialism she asks the question of how to add value to the experience of design, using an eclectic alchemy of different mediums and disciplines. Combining tactility driven product design with filmmaking, performance, graphic design and music, Brit Leissler lets Art & Commerce go to bed together to create bastard children that intrigue with their ambiguous characters. Through her humorous and inviting work she challenges us to rekindle the lost art of happiness—using neo-analogue playpower that works on a conceptual but also utilitarian and emotional level.
