Mendel Heit
Design Director

 

Mendel Heit is a french-german product designer who lives and works in Berlin.<br>

He first studied at the ENSA Nancy (F). During that time, he met with Jerszy Seymour as well as Shin+Tomoko Azumi during a Vitra Boisbuchet Workshop, and also made an internship with Georges Rousse.
Finalizing his studies at the HBK-Braunschweig (D), Mendel worked on projects for VW, die Bahn, and other german companies. Simultaneously he was working at the Institute for Transportation Design in Braunschweig.
After his diploma in 2006 he started gathering experiences as a designer at the Jerszy Seymour Design Workshop while working on several products and shows (Vitra, Moulinex, Magis, etc..). He then worked as a freelancer in companies specialized in interior architecture, exhibition design and interactive experiences, like Coordination Berlin, ART+COM, or Avantgarde.

He created the Mendel Heit Design Lab in 2009 and continued mixing a more experiential design practice and spatial branding projects.
