studio högl borowski was established in 2015 by Stefanie Högl and Matthias Borowski and is based in Vienna.

In their unique creations the relationship between materiality and sensoric qualities is key. Matthias fascination for technology, craftsmanship, shapes and proportions and that of Stefanie for spatial mood, colour and materiality and telling stories cross in an intriguing way.

studio högl borowski balance between furniture design and sculptural objects, always aiming to conceive, compose, imagine and present a sequence of sensations that exite.

The works occupy a unique place between conceptual projects, object design with food as a strong source for inspiration. With both experimental attitude and investigative curiosity, studio högl borowskis works illuminate parallels between the role of the chef by working in close dialog with the used materials and their processes to create unique compositions that tickle the senses. The designers raise questions about the key role of sensory parameters and explore the diversity of material scenarios.

Both already met whilst studying. They completed their BA-degrees in product design at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd and later on moved to the Netherlands, a formative phase for both. Matthias continued and graduated with the master program in Contextual Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven.
