After training as a goldsmith in the bavarian region Allgäu, Julia Linnig began studying object design at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences in 2019. Right from the start, her focus was on craft techniques, sustainability and recycling. After initially working with bio-based materials, her passion for plastic recycling was awakened during the 'Waste Materials’ course. She developed the material 'terrazzoflex' and the ‘ONE BAG’ product family as part of her bachelor's project ‘Crafting Waste’.
