Internship Report: Robert-san


1. What was your internship goal?
Working in a company, located in a different cultural circle
to learn more about people, life and especially about my
person (who I am and what I want for future)
Besides studies I wanted to see what it means to work in
a design-company, to meet requirements of everyday work
as a designer and to take on a fresh challenge
it was also a part of my studies in germany. every student
has to absolve an internship in a company to improve the
own abilities and to get new and valuable experiences

2. What did you do at your internship (please go into detail)?
In both companies I was working in the position of a product-
and graphic-designer. I made ideas, concepts, which we
discuss in meetings and some of them were produced, others
are still in process
- different conceptual elaborations for interior- and office
designs, working with different materials and manufacturing
techniques. f.e. Chairs, stools, Tables, desks, shelves, partitions
- new systems in offices, especially thinking about a new world in
offices, to make simply more! (MOFF! Conept of addalpha) find
ways to make offices more personal, comfortable, individual like a
place, where you can work and relax to find the harmonic balance
of living and working (different ideas and concepts)

3. How was your overall experience?
working in japan was very new for me. Not only the language also
thinking about concepts, problems and in general design is very different.
I learned a lot about the japanese way of thinking and working. Now I
have this kind of two perspectives in analizing problems in life and work,
the japanese and the german one. It helps me to find better solutions
and especially to find the best way to make good, sustainable design. I
will bring all these new experiences back to germany and I think it helps
me to find my personal way in life.
