Michael Rem

“Being a designer means absorbing all of the daily influences that life offers endlessly, and consciously experiencing it."

All the sounds, colours, forms and events are mixed together in the subconscious with your personality and emotions, so that all of this can be combined to form something new: A new idea which is extracted from the absorbed old and comes back to the surface of the conscious as images of new products. This is what I term the new simple.

– Michael Rem

Rem has won and been nominated for numerous design awards throughout his career. Most notably, Meemo Portable, which won the Archiproducts Design Award 2025, as well as a German Design Award he received in 2017 for his design of the Molekyl candleholder.
