Glen Oliver Loew

Glen Oliver Loew graduated with a Diploma in Industrial-Design from the University of Wuppertal in 1985. He then moved to Milan, where he received a master’s degree in design from Domus Academy. He has since collaborated with Antonio Citterio, developing a large number of products for companies such as Ansorg, Flos, Hackman, Iittala, Kartell, Vitra and Vitrashop.

Since 2000 he is teaching as a Professor for Product Design at the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg. After starting his own studio, Loew partnered with Knoll to develop a light task chair for the increasingly flexible and mobile work environment. The resulting design, Ollo, is an everywhere chair inspired by mid-century designs.
