Nils from the aroma:id team

„As an engineer and IT specialist at aroma:id, I am trusted with the freedom to experiment, prototype and find smart solutions that support both our projects and our daily work. I love that I can keep learning and shaping how I work and pushing ideas from concept to reality. The open and bright office environment gives me the space to thrive and to find new and beautiful ideas.

We collaborate, support and challenge each other, whether solving complex problems or battling at the kicker table.
This unique blend of freedom, creativity and the team spirit is what makes aroma:id a special place for me.“

Francesca from the aroma:id team

“As a designer at aroma:id I focus on graphics, sketches, User Experience and Ul. I enjoy shaping ideas visually and making concepts tangible for our partners. What I value most about aroma:id is the culture. Every role here is seen as equally important, just like our clients and the projects we bring to life, no matter if they are small or large. That balance and respect make working here truly rewarding.

Outside the studio I enjoy movies and model making, often catching a plane to explore the world. Country count: 35✈️🌍

Kevin from the aroma:id team

“As an industrial designer at aroma:id I work on everything from design development to 3D renderings and animations. I am also exploring how Al can enhance our creative process, and I enjoy organizing events that bring fresh energy into our studio.

But what I really value about coming to aroma:id every day is the team. It feels almost like a little family, and we truly work together as one team. On top of that every project is completely different, which means we get to dive into new topics, collaborate with a wide range of companies and, most importantly, get to know the people behind them. That variety keeps my work exciting.

I am also passionate about urban mobility and e-bikes, and in my free time you will probably find me in theme parks or riding roller coasters.🎢 ”

Originally created for snacks, but also perfect fit for ice cream.

This stainless steel bowl was developed in 2005 together with Auerhahn as an elegant solution for serving small bites. With its precise silhouette and brushed finish, it reflects the clarity and longevity we strive for in our design work.
Today, it is one of our aroma:id classics. We still love it. And we still use it. 🍦

Under the motto Design for Democracy, the World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 is hosting a wide range of events. One regular highlight is the monthly meetup in and around Frankfurt.

Yesterday, we at aroma:id had the pleasure of being the host. It was a joy to welcome the community into our studio in Offenbach and offer a space for exchange, conversation and shared perspectives on the role of design in society.

A heartfelt thank you to the whole WDC team for organizing the evening. Special thanks to Helena Kiefer, Anna-Lena Blönnigen and Tim Colloseus.

We are happy to contribute to a culture of openness and dialogue in design.

Bis zum nächsten Mal! 😉

The Fissler Original-Profi Collection was realised a few years ago and still reflects our commitment to clarity, precision and long-lasting design.

We redesigned the cookware line to create a contemporary version of a long-standing classic. The goal was to retain its character while refining details that matter in everyday use.

The angular handles were ergonomically optimised and the entire range was updated with subtle, consistent adjustments. Every element was considered to ensure the collection performs in both professional kitchens and private homes. Timeless in its appearance and reliable in its function, the design was recognised with both the if Design Award and the Red Dot Award for outstanding quality and sustainability.

🪥 Simplicity meets sustainability, with a splash of colour.

Together with Sunstar Europe SA, we at aroma:id designed and developed the GUM® CLASSIC toothbrush. A timeless design with a bio-based handle*, plastic-free packaging and ergonomic comfort for everyday use. Small details make a big difference.
*ISCC certified, mass balance approach.

💡Together with our partner Sanofi we initiated a unique packaging concept which is using recycled plastics from medical devices. The concept has been submitted for the prestigious Bundespreis Ecodesign, which is awarded by the Federal Ministry for Environment and the German Environment Agency and recognizes the most outstanding ecological designs in Germany this year. 🌍♻️

We are excited to participate the competition with our innovative design concept, which is also supporting circular economy in the medical industry. Stay tuned for more updates later this year.

We should not just talk, but act. | aroma:id x FraBeG eG

At aroma:id, we firmly believe in the power of design to make the world a better place - every day. This is why we’re pleased to share our collaboration with FraBeG Frankfurter Bürgerenergiegenossenschaft eG, a pioneering force for the energy transition and climate protection in Germany, especially within our home region, the Rhein-Main area.

We’re excited to announce not only our collaboration with FraBeG but also our role as proud supporters of this newly founded initiative. The goals and values of FraBeG deeply resonate with our beliefs at aroma:id. As a design studio specializing in consumer and investment goods, as well as strategic product design, we see our mission not only in creating aesthetically pleasing and functional products but also in promoting sustainable and responsible design practices.

We are looking forward to upcoming projects of FraBeG and the continued partnership that lies ahead. Together with FraBeG, we are committed to making substantial contributions to the energy transition, proving that taking action is key to preserving our planet for future generations. 🌍☀️💨⚡🤝

In addition to planetary 3D printing we also use non-planar slicing with Grasshopper software to create objects with detailed surface textures. This technique not only fosters the creation of complex, organic patterns that enrich both the visual and tactile appeal of our designs but also liberates us from the constraints of traditional 3D printing, enabling the crafting of distinctive and visually striking structures.The featured object demonstrates the precise control we have over the texture, showcasing a harmonious blend of technology and artistry in physical form.
