Werteloberfell
At our core we are industrial designers We really like to care about the form of a product - the perfect composition of its curves, surfaces, edges. Finding it without neglecting any other of the forces pulling on a design, like ergonomics, manufacturing and materials, can be a worthwhile challenge. Because we absolutely believe a refined form will make a difference in the way a customer relates to your product.
WertelOberfell was founded in London in 2007 by Gernot Oberfell and Jan Wertel. Both studied Industrial Design in Stuttgart at the State Academy of Arts, a school which is based on the principles of the Ulmer Schule and the Bauhaus. Our expertise ranges from consumer products, furniture and lighting to applied research pieces for companies such as Braun, Gillette, OralB, Siemens, Bosch, Philips, Panasonic, Sony, Bulthaup and Nowystyl. Our work has been exhibited in several museums and exhibitions around the world and is part of the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
