Steffen Reber | Schuhdesign | Shoedesign

Q: What is your driving force?
A: Shoedesign is my passion. To merge design and industrial production, is what I love about my work. A good shoe is like a composition for me, in which fashion, shape, fitting, materials and technology are all connected in the best possible manner - to provide a great walking experience.

Q: What is important for you?
A: That would be sustainability. It is, that we should interact respectfully with people and all resources in order to create a better environment for coming generations.

Q: Everybody talks about 3D in development, what is your perspective on it?
A: In my early years I had the immense fortune to work and study under true masters of the craft, who shared their knowledge freely with me. This was a gift for which I am truly grateful. Nowadays people believe it is easy to manage a product because we have all varieties of software. This is only one side of the coin. For it is a fact, that only if a productmanager understands ALL aspects of the product they are supposed to manage, can they create a production friendly and cost efficient result. My observation is, that the knowledge which is taught has lost it’s depth and has become more superficial.
This goes for all walks of life! Digitally enhanced lifestyle trends, along with constant innovations in materials and technology, are making products possible like never before. So learning is an ongoing process for me which keeps me happy and alert and on my toes.

Sehr oft besteht eine riesige Lücke zwischen einer Produkt Idee und deren Umsetzung in ein marktgerechtes Produkt. Wenn es um Schuh Innvoation geht, ist für mich Steffen Reber der perfekte „Transformator“. Handwerkskunst und Kreativität kombiniert mit marktgerechter Umsetzungsfähigkeit ergibt Steffen Reber!

I have collaborated with Reber Design over 10 years now, with customers across the world (from Ethiopia, Israel, India to Germany). During our collaboration, I appreciated the technical knowledge for outsoles and shoe making of Steffen Reber - that helped us to manage complex projects for outsoles ranging all different materials, constructions and styles, from prefabricated to mouled, from leather to EVA/TPU/rubber, from formal to casual outsoles.

Steffen is an open minded professional, with an attitude to team working and problem solving, coped with a deep technical capability. It was a pleasure to collaborate with him in the past years and I hope to develop with him many more projects in the future!
