Lehrbeauftragte SoSe 2025 /
Visiting Lecturer Sommer Semester 2024-2025
Silvio Rebholz is a German designer based in Lausanne, Switzerland. His practice integrates various media related to design, including objects, interviews, public installations, and videos. He works for clients such as Hay, Mono, Erwan Bouroullec, Vitra Haus, Anniina Koivu and Weissenhofmuseum Stuttgart and is lecturing at ABK Stuttgart.
Objects
Silvio is dedicated to exploring unconventional ideas and transforming them into practical product solutions. His work aims to create sensitive and compelling products that align with the environmental and social considerations of our modern society. Silvio finds great satisfaction in tackling projects that involve unique contexts and evoke meaningful interpersonal interaction.
Interviews & videos
Over the past four years, Silvio has specialized in leveraging his product design expertise to video interview formats. The decline of linear television has brought substantial changes to TV set design, creating new opportunities. His inaugural series, On the Way to Work with…, won the Swiss Design Award in 2022 and was followed by The Salone Pick-up, a live broadcast at the 2023 Milan Furniture Fair.
In 2024, his documentary La Grange, a portrait of French designer Erwan Bouroullec, premiered at Designmuseum Denmark in Copenhagen. In those projects, Silvio focuses on designing environments that foster trust and intimacy for interview guests. His work moves beyond surface narratives, critically examining the intentions and actions of designers to provide deeper insights into their practice.
In the Sommersemester of 2025 Silvio is visiting lecturer at Design & Social Context in the project: Serving Prototypes
