Raoul Breitzel is passionate about the material and the design of objects, believing that working between these two constraints (material and form) can well convey the emotional impulse behind the initial idea of the project. Beginning as industrial designer, he became convinced that the need for ecological ethics is rarely respected by mass production. Raoul developed projects deemed industrially impractical turning to less frequented areas of design. Alongside the decade-long dedication to Capsula Mundi, he runs a workshop where he develops projects from design to completion, focusing mainly on wood. Raoul’s Eola lamp has been in the design collection of the MOMA Museum in New York since 1995. He lives and works in Rome, Italy. View more here.
