Bio
Kato Herbots is a product designer whose work explores the dynamic relationship between people, material and context, which she actively transforms. At the heart of her practice, materials and narrative meet to create a rich and meaningful dialogue. With an approach that is both sensitive and grounded in context, she uses design as a critical tool to question current visions of the world and imagine alternative scenarios for the future. Combining in-depth research, material exploration and narrative, her approach deconstructs received ideas and opens the way to new perspectives. Her work is expressed in a variety of ways, from product design to research-led installations.
Kato Herbots’ research project “Residents of Solar Space” proposes alternative materials and approaches as part of a new awareness of the sun.
