portrait bea wich reif

Hello,
I am Beate Wich-Reif, graduate Industrial Designer, specialized on porcelain. Until the end of 2024, I was Head of Design and a permanent employee at Kober Porzellan, Steinwiesen. This manufactory stands for expertise in interior products like door handles, taps and fittings and works with many Italian companies.

Over the years my fun project, the little ghost lantern became something like my signature product. I keep releasing limited editions that are sold exclusively here online and at the wonderful wucholtzky.de istore in Nuremberg.

After living in Milan for many years and realizing numerous projects with Marianelli Design, Castiglione Morelli Design, deGast deSIGN, working at Kober gave me the opportunity to accompany every development step from the smallest plate to the head-high hydrocyclone, to develope new design ideas and to experience the great variety of porcelain every day.
