About the
Designer
INFORMATION
Axel Bruchhäuser is not a classic designer – and that is precisely what makes him so special. As an entrepreneur, driving force and publisher, he brought the work of designers such as Tecta founder Karl-Friedrich Förster and later Marcel Breuer into the present – and with his attitude, he reshaped the understanding of design for an entire era.
