Ottenwälder und Ottenwälder

Our design agency was established in 1991 in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, by Petra Kurz-Ottenwälder and Max Ottenwälder. The team includes 7 people and 2 very cute dogs. As a multidisciplinary and globally oriented design agency, we are called upon when it’s time to design products, systems and interfaces.

In line with our clients’ objectives, we develop brand-specific, cost-effective and aesthetically outstanding design.

The development of corporate product design lines and their long-term support is one of our core competencies. Our work is based on broad technological knowledge, sociological understanding of target groups and a sound knowledge of the development of cost-neutral design solutions.

Many long-standing customers and numerous design awards confirm a working approach based on many years of experience with our Design Improvement Method (DIM®).
