René Otto, a Hamburg-based designer that operates through his studio – studio é, works across spatial design, furniture, and everyday objects, all conceived with a sculptural sensibility. Guided by honesty and clarity, his practice transforms conceptual ideas into forms that are precise, materially attentive, and visually compelling. Otto’s designs are formally reduced yet conceptually rich, balancing refinement with purpose and establishing a dialogue between object, space, and user.

Drawing on his background in architecture and product design, he approaches each project with a disciplined sense of proportion and a careful awareness of context. His work bridges the heritage of everyday forms with contemporary environments, translating conceptual rigor into designs that are immediately legible while retaining depth.

Through studio e, Otto continues to refine a language of considered design, producing objects and spaces that are enduring and thoughtful. By combining clarity, sculptural sensibility, and material awareness, his work communicates directly while revealing the care and discipline behind every design.
