Raised in a furniture manufactory and design-focused family in southern Germany, Nicole Doth chose early on to pursue training as a master furniture craftsman. Today, in her studio in Elztal-Dallau, she combines diverse materials with distinctive surfaces to create three-dimensional sculptural furniture—functional art.

In her current collection "Mirror, Mirror on the …," mirrored surfaces play a central role in the construction of these art design objects. The collection includes beds and nightstands, coffee tables, sofas and chairs, kitchen furniture, as well as complete room installations featuring mirrored walls. Thanks to these mirror elements, all designs adapt seamlessly to virtually any interior—the surrounding décor reflects itself without transition in Doth's creations. For the designer, dialogue and exchange with her clients are paramount. Doth views her furniture not merely as standalone pieces, but always considers the context in which her designs will be used. Through listening and engaging in conversation with her clients, she's able to bring their visions to life—whether that involves individual furniture pieces or fully customized interior concepts for residential or commercial spaces. Doth merges her exceptional craftsmanship with an artistic perspective, guided by her motto "Don't be afraid of art." Beyond their practical functionality, the pieces in her collections are designed with an artistic ambition: to transform spaces into compelling environments.
