Laura Schmidt

Laura studied industrial design at Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design before apprenticing as a cabinetmaker to bring her designs to life. She joined Holzkunst Müller seven years ago after working at a modern furniture studio in Berlin. Her combination of design education and hands-on craftsmanship has brought fresh perspectives to the company's offerings.

Experience: Mid-level craftsperson with strong design background (7/10)

Favorite Jobs

• Contemporary furniture design
• Client consultations
• Inlay work

I bridge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design thinking. My goal is creating pieces that honor classical woodworking techniques while meeting modern aesthetic sensibilities and functional needs.

Physical Condition

Laura is in excellent physical condition and practices yoga regularly to maintain flexibility and prevent workshop-related injuries. She's particularly attentive to ergonomics and often adjusts her working height to prevent strain.

Favorite Place

Laura thrives in the company's small but well-equipped design studio area where digital tools meet traditional craftsmanship. This light-filled corner contains her laptop running CAD software, material samples, and a large mood board filled with inspirational images and material swatches. Here she can seamlessly transition between digital design work and hands-on material exploration, often sketching concepts while discussing possibilities with clients.
