With unconventional ideas such as the “stone age” flatware mono-tools, Michael Schneider keeps surprising the design scene. Born in 1962 in Geislingen, he completed his studies in product design at the Art Academy in Stuttgart. After working at a design studio in Stuttgart, he established his own business in Cologne. In addition to flatware he designs a myriad of products, such as furniture, bathroom accessories and medical apparatus.
