TIMON RAMACHER
Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am, a third-year New Design and Attitudes student at St. Joost School of Art & Design.
In my practice, I combine graphic design with experimental material research, exploring the boundaries of form and function.
My work blends digital and physical media, where concept and aesthetics come together.

01 MELTED MATTERS
Fused layers of Albert Heijn shopping bags with a membrane of sewing thread. Through the application of heat and rotational movement,
a durable, sail-like material is formed. The integrated thread structure enhances both strength and flexibility, transforming waste plastic into a functional and resilient new material.
This experiment delves into the potential of circular design and innovative material development, exploring how discarded plastics can be repurposed into high-quality, sustainable alternatives.

02 INTUITIVE STEEL
In this project, I intuitively created shapes and interwove them into one another. I then shaped steel wire into both sharp angles and fluid curves. This process was driven by experimentation, gradually learning from the machines and techniques along the way. By embracing an
open-ended approach, I explored the balance between structure and movement, allowing the materials to guide the final form.

03 PAPER WEAVE
Paper weaving is a simple, playful technique that many people associate with their first experiences in design and structure, often tracing back to childhood. In an era where much design work is digital, the need for physical materials and handcrafted techniques is growing. Paper weaving offers a tangible, hands-on experience that contrasts with the sleek, streamlined nature of digital graphic design. It allows me to intuitively experiment with rhythm, layering, and structure—something I sometimes miss in my digital work.

04 ONE MAN SHOW
The goal of this assignment was to create an attraction.
My interpretation of this was amusement and play—something that can be linked to various aspects of music and music-making.
I designed a one-man band, where interaction and performance come together.

05 RAW EDGES
This photo series captures a selection of brutalist buildings in both Breda and Rotterdam.
The series serves as the starting point for my recent project, in which I pay tribute to brutalism — an architectural movement known for its raw concrete structures, expressive forms, and uncompromising materiality.

06 INTERSECTION
My research focuses on brutalism as a visual language and source of inspiration. I'm drawn to its raw aesthetics, geometric structures, and exposed constructions for their honesty and strength.
I began by photographing brutalist buildings in my surroundings. By closely observing their forms, rhythm, and use of materials, I developed new ideas for my own practice. The use of grids, geometric repetition, and structural patterns particularly inspired my final work: a spatial object based on origami, in which brutalist principles are translated into a light and foldable form.

07 ULTRACE AUTO FESTIVAL
My passion for cars started at a young age.
What inspires me most is the blend of design and engineering behind each model. This summer, I attended the Ultrace Auto Festival in Poland, where I captured a photo series that I’m excited to showcase here.
