In 2000, the independent design studio VERTIJET* was launched vertically and at full throttle. On board: Steffen Kroll - a product designer who loves shapes and flying objects - and Kirsten Hoppert - an interior designer and illustrator. Already during their studies at the renowned art academy in Halle (Saale), they developed innovative visions of unconventional living concepts - including a prefabricated house.

After several years of award-winning work for top-class national and international companies, the team increasingly focused on developing and implementing their own ideas and projects, which they continue to work on consistently to this day, incorporating the latest technologies. They sell the results of these processes - products and small series - under their own labels. They also work as art directors for various innovative start-ups.
