PERSON

Ralf Kötter is qualified engineer of Interior Design (FH) and master carpenter.

After I completed my training as a carpenter I worked 4.5 years for various companies. Subsequently, I worked in specialised carpentries in France for 4 years and in Ireland for 6 months. In 1997, I obtained the master craftman's certificate within the framework of the European Master Qualification at the Compangnons du Devoir in Cologne and Tours, and grathered professional experience in various companies afterwards. I collaborated on restoration work on a world heritage site: the Saint-Sébastien Chapel from the 16th century in the Saint Ségal Finistère region in France. This period of my life was a positive and shaping experience for me.

After my return to Germany, I continued working as a master carpenter in various companies but wanted to follow my passion in the field of architecture and furniture design. Finally, I successfully completed my degree in Interior Design at the University of Ostwestfalen-Lippe in Detmold / Germany with the engineering diploma (FH). Afterwards, I completed an additional graduate examination on obtaining planning permission for interior designers. Inspired by minimalism in art and interior design, I have been focusing on product development and prototyping since 2012. My scope of services comprises the development of furnishing concepts and furnishings for a "cultural urban lifestyle".
