Pia Matthes

After studying product design at the University of Art and Design Karlsruhe and sculpture in Lisbon, I initially worked as a scenographer in Lucerne. In my own studio, I develop art and design objects as well as sound installations and organize concerts for new music. For several years now, I have been working in craft education and am delighted to pass on my knowledge and support students in realizing their projects.

Federico Billeter

Werkstattverantwortlicher ONA

After the apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker and subsequent years of travel in the USA, New Zealand and Japan, I founded a woodworking shop with the focus on furniture, objects and interior design. In collaboration with designers, artists and architects, I produced a variety of prototypes, small series and custom pieces. I later studied interior design and scenography at the Basel University of Art and Design, where I further developed my creative interests. Today I run a small design studio in Zurich, which focuses on interior architecture,
the design of furniture and objects. studiorotterdam.net.

As a supervisor of the Raplab at ONA, it is my pleasure to share with students my experience and skills at the interface between craftsmanship, material and technology.
