Carolin Schelkle is a German Industrial Designer and Material-Researcher. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Product- and Communication Design from the Free University of Bolzano↗ and a Master of Product Design from écal↗ (Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne).

Her work is led by exploring the life of products and raw materials and driven by curiosity, field studies and cross-disciplinary research. The investigations cover a broad range of typologies, including materials, processes, products, spaces and exhibitions, materialized through extensive experimenting, sampling and prototyping. The research results either in the record of a process itself or in a commercial product, encouraging a deeper understanding of the materials and products that surround us.
