Building a vacuum
ZHdK / Product / 2026
Master Thesis
I’m currently prototyping a vacuum cleaner.

I wish for a world where we take more care of our objects again, appreciate them, maintain and repair them and maybe even pass them on once they are not needed anymore.

And now I'm in the process of building a vacuum. One which should last the next 30 years. To go against a throw-away culture. To build one that is easy to maintain, to repair. One where care is put into designing every detail. In the hope that this translates into the user caring for and about the vacuum.

This project page functions as a blog where I write about my approach and the process.
