Life
Thomas Feichtner was born to Austrian parents in
Vitória,
Brazil, in 1970.[citation needed] After attending school in
Linz, Austria, and
Düsseldorf, Germany, he studied and completed a degree in industrial design at the
University of Art and Industrial Design Linz,[1] from 1990 to 1995, where he later taught from 2002 to 2005. In 1997 Feichtner founded his own design studio and initially designed sports equipment and industrial goods. Starting in 2005, he increasingly began to design products for Austrian fabricators and traditional crafters, along with experimental individual pieces for exhibitions. Between 2001 and 2009, he was a partner in a visual communications agency in Linz and Vienna. His son Ferdinand was born in 2008. Feichter has been a professor of product design[2] at the
Muthesius Academy of Art[3] in Kiel, Germany, from 2009 to 2014. With his wife Simone Feichtner, he lives and works in
