working title moves between body, object and space – bringing different scales and disciplines together through one evolving design language.
working title is an independent design practice based between Berlin and Paris, founded by fashion designer Antonia Goy and architect Bjoern Kubeja.
Rooted in two disciplines, the practice approaches garments, objects and spaces with the same attention to material, proportion, movement and use. The work is considered as a whole – made to last, to evolve and to become part of everyday life.
Our work
working title develops an evolving, seasonless collection alongside bespoke pieces and projects.
Beginning with garments, the collection continues to expand into objects and elements for the interior. Rather than following seasons, it evolves continuously as new pieces, materials and ideas are introduced. The collection is available through the working title store in Berlin and online.
Alongside the collection, the practice works directly with clients on individual pieces and projects – from made-to-order garments and bespoke objects to interiors and spatial projects. Each begins with a particular person, place or need.
These different ways of working are closely connected. An idea developed for a particular space can become an object; the construction of a garment can influence the way an interior is considered. Moving between scales allows one discipline to inform another.
This exchange is central to working title, as is the direct relationship with the people who wear, use and live with its work.
ABOUT US
Antonia began her career in Paris, studying Stylisme et Modélisme at Studio Berçot before working at Karla Otto with Prada and Jil Sander. She later moved to Berlin to study fashion design at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee.
Bjoern came to architecture through making. Before studying architecture, he trained as a carpenter and bricklayer. He studied at Technische Universität Braunschweig and Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee before working with architectural practices in Berlin and London. He has been a member of the Berlin Chamber of Architects since 2013.
Antonia and Bjoern met while studying at Berlin-Weissensee and have worked together ever since. In 2018, they founded working title as a place for their different backgrounds and disciplines to meet.
What began with garments continues to grow into objects and spaces, while remaining rooted in the same approach to design and making.
The working title store in Berlin is a physical extension of the practice – a place to discover the current collection, encounter new work and meet its makers.
Materials
working title approaches materials with the same care given to form, proportion and function.
Materials are chosen for their quality, character and ability to age well. The practice works with experienced makers and manufacturers and favours natural materials. The aim is to create fewer, better things that can be used, repaired, adapted and kept.
Aesthetics and responsibility are not treated as separate considerations. Both are part of the same process: deciding what to make, how to make it and how to make it last.
working title is plastic-free – but its approach does not end there.
