Katharina Mischer (1982) and Thomas Traxler (1981) form Studio mischer’traxler.
Based in Vienna, they develop and design products, furniture, installations and more, with a focus on experiments and conceptual thinking. Balancing between hand craft and technology, they envision whole systems and new production methods rather than single products. After graduating from the IM-masters Department of Conceptual Design in Context at the Design Academy Eindhoven, Katharina and Thomas founded studio mischer‘traxler in 2009. Their work was honoured with the Austrian Experimental Design Award 2009, the DMY Award 2009, received an honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2009 and was shortlisted for the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year Award in 2010. Exhibitions on contemporary design have displayed their work in several museums including the Art Institute Chicago, Design Museum London, MAK Vienna, the Designhuis Eindhoven and at international festivals.
