Tobias Juretzek has studied product design at the College of Art in Kassel with an emphasis on furniture design and exhibition architecture. Beyond his study he received work experiences in the studios of Makkink & Bey in Rotterdam and worked on concepts for theater pieces and stage sets with 'crucible', an artists’ group from Berlin.

In addition to study the designs for 'Lichtnote' and 'Garnitur' for the firm Dua were made. After passing his diploma in spring 2010 he worked as a freelancer on different projects for Makkink & Bey. In spring 2011 the Atelier Tobias Juretzek was started. Atelier Tobias Juretzek The atelier is an experimental playground. It includes a workshop, free space and a lot of personality. It was launched to be able to think and react on contemporary questions.

The atelier is like a tool to generate and transport visions into reality. It works as a painting that matures constantly from rough and sketchy levels to entirety, the process of design leads several elements to a final point. At the beginning it’s a thought, perhaps followed by an idea, a kind of sketch and a lot of personal emotions. From this you build a frame, a first direction and possibly a more or less utopist or perhaps even radical vision. Accompanied by frequently recurring and doubting questions, a reasonable image of the idea is strengthened.

STUDIO NITO was founded by Nil Atalay and Tobias Juretzek, the design office mainly works in the field of furniture, textile and industrial design. The studio is a collage of interests, leading to interaction with techniques, colors, experiments, culture, discoveries, principles.
