Beta Tank

A place for thought, invention and play.

Beta Tank is a design practice based in Berlin. beta[at]betatank.net

Beta Tank is a conceptual product design practice that uses design objects for social commentary. Every part of the design process goes to surve the original concept. This means that the colour, shape and material come to the idea. I am in the design world but I do not think of my process as design. This results in a collection of objects that look nothing like each other nor do they look like they came from the same person.
