Heike Philipp breathes full life into her design. Professionally, her creative demand is for the functional and practical. And she’s passionate about adding her own interpretation.

“For me, it’s really important that a product can withstand the demands of everyday use. So it’s a bit of a tightrope walk to design functional yet emotional products with a personal touch. The interplay between interesting design and function must result in harmonious products which the end user wouldn’t want to be without – not least because they can identify themselves through these products.”

Born in 1969, Heike is a graduate designer, university lecturer and trained porcelain painter/décor designer. She has been head of Arzberg product development since 2006.
