Vitra - Studio OE - Portraits 6_web_3-2

Studio Œ

Designers Lisa Ertel and Anne-Sophie Oberkrome met while studying product design at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and founded Studio Œ in Berlin in 2021. Their practice operates at the intersection of functional objects, spatial interventions and exploratory gestures.

Lisa Ertel (*Germany, 1990) and Anne-Sophie Oberkrome (*Germany, 1990) began collaborating while studying product design at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. In 2021, they founded Studio Œ in Berlin. The Œ – a ligature formed from the initials of their surnames – symbolises the coming together of two perspectives within a shared creative philosophy.

Studio Œ develops projects grounded in material and context, understood as active components of the conceptual approach. Design is viewed as an open-ended process transforming insights and observations from everyday life into meaningful, precisely articulated solutions. The duo’s projects navigate the intersection of functional objects, spatial interventions and exploratory gestures.

They have been working with Vitra since 2025. A new lounge chair, designed by Vitra and Studio Œ, is set to be launched in September 2026.
