STUDIO RAINER MUTSCH
Studio Rainer Mutsch is a multi-disciplinary design studio based in Vienna.
Mutsch’s works are defined by intensive explorations of new materials and production techniques as well as by questioning existing typologies. Together with his team they develop products that are elegant, precise, yet simple and above all are meant to meet human needs. He works with a list of international clients and cultural institutions on a variety of scales, ranging from furniture, lighting and product design to spatial solutions.
Clients: Eternit, Rado, Sixinch, Swarovski, FiberC, Molto Luce, A.E. Köchert, Stadt Wien, BMW/ Mini, Coca Cola, Römerquelle, WKO
