Erich Slothower
After graduating from design school, Erich found his first job near the houseboat docks in Sausalito and has followed his passion for designing better products and the processes that make them possible ever since, from California to the Midwest, and back. With companies like Kallista, Kohler and Williams-Sonoma, Erich has enjoyed driving large projects strategically, with a strong mechanical aptitude and a rebellious mind as his tools. In his free time – Erich likes to mountain bike, restore Italian vehicles and make specialty home brews.
Anna-Pia Slothower
Anna-Pia is from Sweden and knew early on that a profession in the field of design was her calling. To pursue her design degree, she moved to Paris at the age of 19, and after school, started her career designing luxury fixtures in the Marais district. Ten years later, coming to the USA, she has worked as an in-house designer in companies like Kohler Co., Palm Inc. and Gingko Design.
Anna-Pia’s designs blend bold forms with practicality. With empathy for the user, and a keen sense for proportions and details she drives large and small projects with the goal to find solutions that can bring it all together.
She enjoys teaching and sharing her design methods, both to design interns and young designers, or when, a few years back, teaching at the Academy Art University in San Francisco.
