Johannes Kastner

Germany (DE, EN)

Salut, my name is Johannes Kastner. I'm studying industrial design at the Kassel Art College. In my studies I am mainly interested in bionics, digital manufacturing techniques and mobility. In addition, I like to travel and am constantly inspired by nature. My vision for the future is to create harmonious connections between people, industry and nature. Since my childhood, manual activities have given me a balance in life. That's why I love to improvise, as well as approach design processes with ease and creativity. It's all a lot of fun and brings happiness into my life, which I would like to share with the people in Senegal.

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
