Moritz Putzier, who was born in Munich and studied at the Hochschule für Künste in Bremen, is a product designer who lives and works in Cologne today.

Moritz Putzier's projects range from furniture and lighting designs to the design of user-oriented industrial products and room concepts. All these areas combine his often playful passion for detail and his fascination for technical refinement. He understands design as a connecting link between people and their environment.
