Florian Arnold

Dr. Florian Arnold is a researcher at the Department of Design within the Offenbach University of Art and Design, associated with the School of Design. His work centers on redefining the logic of design processes by moving beyond polarized views of designers as either artistic geniuses or technical engineers.

• Research Focus: Examines the interplay between object design and broader worldviews, integrating technology, ethics, politics, and culture.
• Methodology: Advocates for design as an independent, universal creative practice that humanizes objects within social frameworks.

Supervisors: Collaborated with Prof. Dr. Martin Gessmann, Prof. Dr. Klaus Klemp, and Prof. Frank Georg Zebner.
