Daniel Garber
Noff is a research-based design studio founded by Daniel Garber and Amalia Magril, based in Eindhoven. The multidisciplinary duo uses design to investigate and reflect on social, ecological, historical, and political issues. Through critical reflection and in-depth research of production systems, supply chains, and material cultures, they explore aesthetics, processes, and hidden narratives of everyday life and complex realities. Their explorations take the form of installations, materials, and everyday objects, offering thoughtful responses and alternative future scenarios to contemporary challenges, aiming to promote more holistic modes of production and consumption.
Garber’s practice combines theory, fieldwork, and material experimentation to explore how aesthetic cultures are shaped by historical, political, social, and environmental processes. Adopting the perspective of a material, plant, or object as a lens to explore a specific locality or phenomenon, his investigative approach uncovers overlooked processes and challenges dominant perceptions. His work addresses contemporary challenges to envision alternative futures.
