office for industrial design

fp.formgebung

Frank Person designs and develops products for industrial series production – primarily everyday objects. His clients include manufacturers of both consumer and capital goods.

His work aims for a distinctive and appealing design language, intuitive usability, and optimal functionality – without falling into dogmatic functionalism. At the same time, his designs strive to engage the senses.

Sustainability is an integral part of his approach: high-quality materials, precise manufacturing, and long product lifespans are central to his process.

A focus on reduction to the essentials characterizes his design philosophy, resulting in products with striking clarity, timeless durability, and lasting aesthetic value.

Years of collaboration with manufacturers, engineers, and distributors have given him in-depth knowledge of diverse markets, materials, and production methods – a decisive advantage in his work.

After training as a glassblower, Frank Person studied Industrial Design at the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt (today Hochschule Darmstadt). This combination of craft and academic education provides a strong foundation and enables a profound understanding of both design and production processes.

Often, the fusion of new technologies with traditional craft techniques leads to surprising and innovative results.

With an outsider’s critical eye, curiosity, passion for good design, and broad experience across product fields, fp.formgebung is the right partner for sophisticated and responsible product design.
