Studio Creative Underdogs

Extending the seating landscape outside.

Located in the heart of Stuttgart, Museum Hegel-Haus is surrounded by the everyday movement of the city – yet easy to pass by.

The outdoor furniture was designed to change that: creating a place to sit and gather during events, while making the museum more visible and inviting people to step inside.

In a way, the intervention plays with a very Hegelian idea: that contrast can be productive. The bright pink furniture deliberately stands apart from the historic architecture – and through that tension, draws new attention to the place.

One system. Many configurations.

The modular seating landscape for Museum Hegel-Haus was designed to adapt to different uses of the space: from screenings and talks to workshops, events and everyday museum use.

The individual elements can be rearranged, combined and stacked, allowing the space to constantly change while becoming a sculptural installation when not in use.

A modular seating landscape for Museum Hegel-Haus in Stuttgart.

Designed for a space with changing uses, the furniture elements can shift between seating, spatial objects and sculptural arrangements – creating different settings for different occasions.

The project extends from the interior into the exterior, connecting the new furniture with the historic setting of Hegel-Haus.

☕✨We hosted our first SCU POP UP CAFÉ in Stuttgart.

Here is how real creative connections started.

At the beginning of June, we opened our studio creative underdogs by Alex Klein for an evening built around coffee, music, conversations, and creative exchange.

The idea was simple: create a relaxed space where designers, creatives, founders, and curious minds could meet without pressure and see what happens.
And it worked.

New conversations started, ideas were shared, and collaborations began to take shape right inside the studio.

I’m very grateful to everyone who came by and made the evening feel so open, warm, and inspiring.

A special thanks to Dogan / for the music.

Supported by Wirtschaftsförderung der Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart through the Creative Connection funding program, and by Areal Süd .

For us at studio creative underdogs, this was more than an event. It was a reminder that design studios can also become spaces for community, culture, and connection.

What kind of creative events would you like to see more often in Stuttgart?

My 3daysofdesign Copenhagen recap.

I’m not a journalist and definitely not the most eloquent writer, so here’s my recap the way I know best: through photos and little sketches.

These are some of my personal highlights.

Beyond the wonderful cafés and incredible lunch spots which once again reminded me that Copenhagen is still a few steps ahead when it comes to food the real highlight for me was the conversations and people along the way.

The product launches and new collections were inspiring, but what truly makes events like this special are the people. Catching up with familiar faces, meeting new ones, exchanging ideas, and sharing experiences.

Thank you to everyone I had the chance to meet.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

I am heading to in Copenhagen.

Who wants to talk design over a drink?

I will be there June 10–12, and I am really looking forward to the exhibitions and new furniture launches.

Still, the part I value most at events like this is what happens around the official program. A short talk after a visit, an honest exchange between appointments, or one drink that turns into a real design conversation.

That is what I am going for this year as well: good work, good people, and fresh ideas.

If you are in Copenhagen and want to meet between launches and exhibitions, feel free to reach out. I would love to connect and exchange ideas.

The past few weeks have been pretty crazy.

Paris. Milan. Studio Movie Night. Lisbon. Alcobaça.

We got to see and hold the very first glass prototypes of a new project in Portugal, kicked off several new projects, and started work on our very first museum project. ✨

And then there was something we’ve been dreaming about for years: our first Pop-up Café. We finally made it happen, and it turned out better than we hoped. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by and made it such a special experience.

Starting next week, we’re heading to Copenhagen for . And right after that comes what will probably be our biggest project so far.

I’m incredibly excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to share more soon. 👀

Sometimes it feels like everything is happening at once. And honestly, that’s exactly how we like it!
