Felix Muhrhofer
Felix Muhrhofer (b. 1975, Vienna) is an Austrian designer working at the intersection of industrial design, interior architecture, and hands-on craftsmanship. Educated at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and ELISAVA in Barcelona, Muhrhofer began his career working from a small, improvised workshop, using it as both laboratory and proving ground for material, form, and production logic.
From the outset, his process has been defined by an insistence on testing ideas through making. By refining traditional craft techniques and embracing an analog, highly controlled workflow, Muhrhofer has developed a body of work marked by formal clarity and a craft-led approach to production. Early projects included a modular terrazzo kitchen system with a single-cast countertop and integrated sink, a design so rooted in daily use that it led him to establish Vienna’s first cooking club, an ongoing platform for cultural exchange.
This commitment to functionality as lived experience continued with the development of the Magic Wall, a fully magnetic wall system conceived as an active extension of the kitchen, transforming storage into a flexible spatial tool. Alongside furniture and product design, Muhrhofer’s practice extends to architectural and spatial projects, including stage design for the opening of the Vienna Boys’ Choir concert hall and the interior architecture of Vienna’s R&BAR. Across disciplines, his work reflects a consistent belief in material honesty, precision, and design shaped by real-world use.
