Thomas Kuhl & Andreas Krob

Andreas Krob trained first as a civil engineer and Thomas Kühl as a carpenter. They met in 1991 while studying industrial design at the Muthesius School of Arts and Crafts in Kiel and worked together for a short time after graduating, combining their ideas in sophisticated technical details in metal and wood.

Kühl now works as a freelance designer in Hamburg, while Krob, after posts as development manager at German companies, founded the studio b4K in Switzerland with his wife, the architect Uta Krob. Their Notos Standing Desk of 1997 is made by ClassiCon.
