Paul Loebach
"My philosophy as a designer is to improve the lives of society as a whole by bringing value and meaning to the objects that inhabit our material world."
Paul Loebach is a furniture and product designer based in New York City and Berlin, Germany.
Raised in Cincinnati, Ohio amid the industrial landscape of the American Midwest, Paul descended from a long line of German woodworkers — his father is a manufacturing engineer who developed new plastic forming technologies for Union Carbide in the 1970s.
After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2002, Paul moved to New York City and established a design studio. He specializes in wood furniture and emerging manufacturing technologies.
Paul’s projects suggest an idealistic fusion of his family’s distant and more recent history: “With a hand in the past and a nod to the future, Loebach's designs call upon the ingenuity of Americana and the curvy couture of neoclassicism, backed by progressive manufacturing tools and techniques, ” writes Meghan Killeen, writing for Cool Hunting.
Paul’s design focuses on materials, experience, and the emotive meaning of objects. His practice stems from a belief that each design presents a unique opportunity to invoke change, and to adapt objects to the functional needs of our ever-evolving lifestyles.
He applies his hands-on material approach to a design philosophy that covers a range of industrially manufactured objects from furniture and lighting, to everyday household products.
Working with Roll & Hill, Paul is the designer behind by the beautiful Major lamp and the stunning Halo series.
