Studio-Lookout-Salon: Der Podcast für Architektur, Design, Kunst und Soziokultur

The multisensorial digital world through the eyes of Annabelle Schneider

Roger Furrer & Maximilian Grieger

Roger Furrer in conversation with Annabelle Schneider about Design, Well-being & the Future of Connection

Welcome to the Studio Lookout Salon podcast, where we explore the intersection of experience design, brand strategy, and holistic well-being. Join Roger Furrer for an insightful conversation with Annabelle Schneider, an award-winning Swiss-born and New York-based designer and brand strategist. Annabelle shares her unique approach to spatial installations (physical and virtual), driven by a strong focus on mental and social well-being.

Discover Annabelle's groundbreaking research in Atlanta's queer strip club culture, leading to a COVID-era art exhibition in Bern, Switzerland, that blurred the lines between physical and virtual interaction. We discuss the digital age's impact on human connection, Generation Z's detachment, and the importance of physical closeness for mental health. Learn about her innovative projects like "Being in Bed" and "Breathe With Me," exploring virtual escapism and communal, tactile experiences.

Annabelle also touches on the role of music and AI in her work, her commitment to sustainable and inclusive design, and the evolving definition of luxury. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on design's impact on our lives and the future of human connection.
