Katja Werner - K.W.D.

In her Berlin design studio, Katja Werner, owner and founder of K.W.D., produces unique pieces and small accessories series out of recycling materials. Disused bicycle and motorcycle tubes as well as vintage air mattresses provide the basic elements for sturdy, durable products. Using the materials' unique qualities and respecting their original form, the designer creates new meanings and contexts and brings them back to life as wallets, bags, mobile phone cases or belts.
