The TEAM
In 2006 Ania Bauer, Jacob Brinck, Lena Hirche und Ramon Toshiro Merker met in a cab – and founded the design collective llot llov. The young office community benefitted from the different educational backgrounds of its members and realized countless projects, products and art installations. Llot llov soon led to llot llov - ARTWORK SHOP GmbH and its autonomous production and distribution.
Recently the cast has undergone subtle changes and since beginning of 2014 Ania Bauer and Jacob Brinck are Head of Design.
In their office at Kottbusser Damm in Berlin Neukölln llot llov develop furniture, products, light and interiors and organize manufacturing and dispatch of their own label. According to the project the designers work in small teams or joint their professional skills to work on interdisciplinary tasks and are thus able to feed their diversified competence into the projects.
