Designer & Entrepreneur, Aschau
Nils Holger Moormann positions himself somewhere between the conventions of conventionality and makes himself comfortable amidst his pieces of furniture. They are not unlike the man himself: ascetic, well thought through, and with a nod and a wink to posterity that is easily missed. As an autodidact and free spirit, Nils Holger Moormann has, from 1982 onwards, developed with a number of mostly young, unknown designers furniture which exhibits a reduced formal language and precise solutions to detail.
The key thoughts are simplicity, intelligence and innovation, and these colour the company’s entire philosophy. From the company headquarters in Aschau to the purist design of FNP – a classic in its own right – and the unusual guesthouse ‘berge’, any new ideas and deliberations will certainly not be put off until tomorrow.

Communication
Since 2010:
Contributor to George magazineSince 2006:
Speaker in various workshops & conferences (JointMaster of Architecture / Eracom / venturelab)Since 2005:
Founder & associate Director of transistor communicationOne of the things Nadja Imhof doesn't especially like is having to make up her mind between two promising options, de facto sacrificing one of them. As far as she can remember, she always tries to keep her horizon open. So, instead of choosing one single path during her studies, she preferred to knit her way between the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences. After University, this double orientation found new perspectives, as Nadja founded almost simultaneously in 2005 ch-arts, a Swiss web-platform for contemporary arts, and transistor, a creation and communication bureau based in Lausanne. Since then, she participates in various projects, as a creative director, a writer, a speaker or as an adviser, keeping in mind that what often nourishes creation is hybridization, dialogue, interaction and transdisciplinarity.

Leslie Nader, geboren und aufgewachsen im aargauischen Rothrist, entwirft und realisiert Innenarchitekturkonzepte; ihr heutiger Tätigkeitsschwerpunkt liegt in der Raumgestaltung von Hotels und Gastronomiebetrieben. Bereits seit 1995 selbständig als kreativer Kopf in unabhängigen Projektteams tätig, firmiert sie seit 2014 mit ihren Mitarbeitenden unter Nader Interior GmbH und deckt zusammen mit ihnen sämtliche Kompetenzen von der Planung bis zur Bauleitung ab.
Zu ihrer beruflichen Spezialisierung gelangte Leslie Nader über lehrreiche und stark praxisorientierte Umwege. Auf eine Ausbildung als Dekorateurin in der Schweiz folgte von 1984 bis 1987 das Studium mit Abschluss in Interior Design an der JFK University in San Francisco. Im Anschluss blieb sie für weitere zwei Jahre in Kalifornien und betreute für Blaire Spangler Interior Design hauptsächlich Hotelprojekte. Von 1987 bis 1995 zeichnete sie bei der Swatch Group in Biel und New York für deren internationale Auftritte und die Shopkonzepte verantwortlich.
Ihre Premiere im Restaurantdesign feierte Leslie Nader 1999 mit dem Bergrestaurant Capalari in Laax, welches bis heute unverändert unter ihrem ursprünglichen Konzept erfolgreich ist. Darauf folgten 11 weitere Projekte in Laax. 2013 gelang ihr der Auf- und Einstieg in die Systemgastronomie mit einem Gestaltungskonzept für Yooji’s Flagship Restaurant an der Zürcher Bahnhofstrasse, das sie in der Folge auf sämtliche weiteren Standorte mit variierenden Platzvorgaben adaptieren konnte.
Leslie Naders kreative Spannweite überrascht und widerspiegelt sich in der Vielfalt und Unterschiedlichkeit ihrer Werke: Ihr gelingt die Kreation räumlicher Erlebniswelten in Restaurants und Bars, an Grossevents und Messen der Sport- und Automobilwelt, in Shops, Büros wie auch öffentlichen Einrichtungen und reicht mit der eigenen, 2004 lancierten Lampenkollektion PolyPop bis zum Objektdesign. Nicht ein Stil, sondern derer vieler sind ihr Stil. Ihre gestalterische Handschrift lässt sich lediglich im harmonischen und gleichzeitig intelligenten Einbezug der jeweils individuellen baulichen Rahmenbedingungen, durch die kompromisslose Detailtiefe ihrer Designs wie auch deren Praktikabilität im Alltag erkennen.
Aktuell befasst sich Leslie Nader mit der Innenarchitektur des denkmalgeschützten Güterschuppens in Arosa, der umgebaut als einzigartiger Gastronomiebetrieb genutzt werden soll.

Nicolas le Moigne’s designs are a celebration of juxtaposition. They show an understanding of, and capacity for, complexity and contrast: seemingly fragile yet resilient, at once artisanal yet also industrial, assuredly sophisticated yet without guile. Like a master swordsman he parries and ripostes between opposing materials, forms and conventions to produce designs that are rigorous and balanced.
This equanimity has brought the Swiss designer, also Head of Master in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, to the attention of both manufacturers and design galleries alike. Working between industrial companies such as Eternit or Atelier Pfister and galleries in London, Paris, Berlin, Zürich or Mexico, Le Moigne’s dexterous approach is an elegant counterpoint to the chaos of a supersaturated design culture.

Michael Sutter, born in 1970 near Solothurn, initially studied environmental sciences at ETH Zurich followed by industrial design at ZHdK. After graduating in 2000, he was able to realize many projects at Formpol as a long-term employee. Furthermore he was occasionally active as lecturer and examination expert at ZHdK, HFTG and ETH Sustainability Summer School.

"Integrated industrial design" is being continuously expanded at Helbling Technik AG - the largest service company for product development in Switzerland. Michael Sutter ensures that industrial design is integrated into the engineering services right from the start, and that engineers and designers are able to work hand in hand with high efficiency on complex tasks. The result are innovative, ergonomic products with coherent details and a convincing overall appearance.

Textile
As a scientist, consultant and author, PD Dr. Monika Kritzmöller analyses phenomena of life style and everyday culture. Her main topics are fashion, textile and the body as well as architecture and environmental design.

Additionally, she teaches sociology at the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland).
Born in 1968 in the south of Germany, she lives at St. Gallen since 2010. In her activities of research she follows her deep passion for textile and fashion – sectors which are still present in this metropolis in the east of Switzerland. Thus, she published her monograph “Lock-Stoffe – St. Gallen als Textil und Jugendstil-Stadt” in the same year.
Academic Background
After her studies of Economics and Social Sciences (Dipl. oec. Univ.) at the University of Augsburg, Monika Kritzmöller acquired her doctors degree in Economic Psychology at the University of Eichstätt (Dr. phil.).
