MONA STEINHÄUSSER

About

Mona Steinhaeusser is a German designer who defines herself as a creator of matters in social contexts, which resist conventional Western consumerism and raise philosophical questions about individual physical and mental interaction, health, education and well-being.

Back in Germany and until she turned eighteen, Mona was raised in an anthroposophical context, which motivated her early on to create alternative structures. Her Bachelor degree in Fashion Design at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design (2015) already made her question her place in the fashion world and positioned her at the intersection of art, design and performance. For the last two years, ever since she enrolled in the master program Fashion Matters, Sandberg Institute her motivation has stretched to create products that invite holistic experiences.
