About

Maximilian Beck is a Cologne based designer working across furniture and lighting, with a particular expertise in glass. He develops collectible design objects for contemporary environments, combining material driven exploration with precise, functional design.

Rooted in a sculptural practice, Beck approaches design through an in depth understanding of material behavior, especially in casting processes. This research driven methodology enables the translation of complex textures and atmospheric qualities into refined, small series objects with a strong material identity.
