Niklas Jessen studied architecture in Lübeck, where she discovered his fascination with interior design, a fascination that prompted him to become, in addition to being a designer, a cabinet maker. Julia Mülling studied literature in Berlin although she was always attracted to the design. Now, she tests her instinct and her ability every day to devise new pieces and shape them. In 2012, they both founded the Schneid Lighting & Furniture studio where they create unique lighting and furniture pieces inspired by natural and environmentally friendly lines.
