Jakob Wagner
Wagner’s designs are simple and minimalist while at the same time playful and poetic. With an eye for detail, Wagner considers all angles of the user experience when creating a design, resulting in timeless, well-balanced designs.
Good design is not about adding a layer of beauty – on the contrary, it is about taking away the unnecessary in order to reveal the essential quality, form and function of an object.
