Das Menschliche Maß – The Human Touch

During a recent visit to Ekkeland Götze, the printer behind more than 10,000 works of the iconic German artist Rupprecht Geiger, I was deeply inspired. In his Munich studio, surrounded by Geiger’s vibrant prints, Eckard shared his philosophy on das menschliche Maß—the human touch. He described how small imperfections in handcrafted work imbue it with life and authenticity, a contrast to the sterile precision of digital production.

His insight resonated with me. In a world dominated by mass production, I find myself cherishing handmade objects—furniture, art, or clothes—imbued with subtle imperfections that tell a story of their creation. These objects transcend functionality; they embody care, creativity, and a connection to their maker. As I create with Bemorie, das menschliche Maß remains central to my philosophy by boycotting mass production and instead working with traditional family-owned manufacturers that handcraft every object with their artisanal expertise.
