His work is defined by an inherently asymmetrical approach, working directly from the human body, with no pattern piece ever mirrored. When meeting the Berlin-based designer at his collection launch in Berlin, he told us about his work and his clothing line, LEB, a distilled, more focused line that concentrates on the most essential elements of the main collection. In conversation with Numéro Berlin, we got an insight into who he is as an artist and designer and into his way of thinking.

He produced some of the most recognizable hip hop tracks of this century, such as “Money Trees” (Kendrick Lamar), “Worst Behaviour” (Drake) and the iconic “I Don’t Fuck with You” (Big Sean) – Dahi. Back then still known as DJ Dahi, he has a talent for finishing songs with a certain creativity: He sampled, for example, Beach House for “Money Trees” and generally never shied away from thinking outside the box when it came to hip hop and rap.

Gonzalez Haase AAS is one of the most recognizable names in architecture and design out of Berlin, though their reputation extends internationally. Since founding the studio in 1999, Judith Haase and Pierre Jorge Gonzalez have moved from designing spaces for Berlin’s gallery scene, working with next to no budget in the city’s early-2000s art world, to shaping projects for international names spanning art, design, and fashion, from Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center to Acne Studios and Ferrari.
