Koziol-HQ

Most of you probably know that I’m a photographer. But these days I do more blogging than actually taking pictures, so I decided to assign myself a photo documentary about Koziol.

Koziol? Even if you’ve never heard of this company, based in Germany’s lovely Odenwald, you’ve definitely seen their products. For example, the vegetable cleaning brush is a design hit across the globe:

Cute, functional designs of everyday products is what Koziol’s known for. But that’s not the full story… Koziol started out by designing and creating elephant tusk pieces, as you’ll see in some of the images below.

I grew up close to their manufacturing grounds.  As a child, I would fantasize about what the inside of the factory might look like, every time we drove by.

So a couple of months ago I decided to ask Koziol if they would allow me inside their headquarters, for a photo shoot. To my surprise, they agreed!  And the invitation email came directly from their president, Stephan Koziol.

Over the next couple days, I’ll be blogging about my time there. Subscribe to the RSS Feed if you want to make sure that you won’t miss a post.

Here are some of those early Koziol tusk designs:
