Hey, I am Lilli Malou Weinhold, a designer based in Düsseldorf, Germany, with a passion for craftwork and material exploration. Embracing an interdisciplinary approach, I engage in various disciplines and workshops. I believe that many past traditions and customs, though often forgotten, remain highly relevant today. By revitalizing these practices, I strive to offer fresh perspectives that align with contemporary sensibilities, creating objects that resonate on a personal level.
