Interview with Maik Juch

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
Yes, I have always wanted to be a designer. That is what things change or redesign the way I've been thinking.
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
Apart from our own projects, our design studio mainly deals with customer orders. On the one hand it is extensions of existing interior or completely new creations we make for our customers. There are both private projects as well as restaurants, bars, stores and offices to which we give a new face. In addition, our studio also deals with the appropriate graphic design so that everything fits well.
What is "design" for you?
On the one hand, design is for me to integrate something in a meaningful form and function into an environment. On the other hand, to transform my ideas and thoughts into something tangible.
What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
My favorite design? Actually, I like almost all my current designs but at the moment it is a toy wooden excavator. Because it is so simple in design as in its production and invites me to play.
Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
That the design does not have more than necessary to be balanced and special and the desired functionality is given.
What makes a design successful?
I am convinced that a design will be successful in the long term if it restrains in its creation and fulfills its purpose. So no less and no more than absolutely necessary, plus the handwriting of the designer.
From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
Reduce overflow, sustainable products from sustainable materials.
Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
I draw inspiration from my family and my environment. And when it comes to a halt, I go to the sea.
How would you describe your design style? What made you explore more this style and what are the main characteristics of your style? What's your approach to design?
The simpler and the better the better. My parents have always reduced everything to the bare minimum, I think that has strengthened my love for minimalism.
Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
I live in Germany on the Baltic Sea, the cultural heritage of my state and country affects me in my work rather less. I can not recognize the disadvantages of the design, but I have a decisive advantage: I live in one of the most natural and beautiful places in Germany. I can imagine more space for ideas.
What are your suggestions to companies for working with a designer? How can companies select a good designer?
Companies should know exactly what they want and categorize it, then they will find the right designer.
From your perspective, what would you say are some positives and negatives of being a designer?
Positive, I can work where I want. Negative, I do not find my sketchpad.
Which tools do you use during design? What is inside your toolbox? Such as software, application, hardware, books, sources of inspiration etc.?
My sketchbook, favorite pencil and favorite eraser. My SurfaceBook and the exchange with fellow people, designers and architects
Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?
Sometimes it is fast and other designs take long, so it is everywhere. If it remains too long for me, I try to distance myself later with new energy to go back to work.
Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
In the first step, I develop the designs myself and then optimize them in the team.
