Coveted Magazine: How have you decided to embrace your
profession?
Drechsler Interiors: As a kid I loved drawing and recast my
room several times, also designing/building my own bed and
racks ... so it was obvious to move into this direction.
CM: What do you love about your work?
DI: Being creative and trying to find exactly the right solution
for every client.
CM: Where did you grow up? Do you think the places we live in
have influence in our lives somehow?
DI: I grew up just a few kilometres from where I live now. For
sure do, the places we live in have influence in our lives.
For example, where I grew up, there wasn’t much traffic, but a
lot of nature and quietness.
When I was working in Dortmund and Nuremberg, very soon
it was clear to me, that this is not the way I want to live the
rest of my life, as there were far too much traffic and too less
nature. I’m glad, to live in this area again and never want to live
in a bigger city, even if it would surely be much better for my
profession, but home is where your heart is!
Drechsler Interiors creates a world of magic and fantasy. If you
ever visit Nuremberg take the tour up to the Unterlangenstadt,
where this wonderful showroom is based. It is not an ordinary
shop. You will find yourself visiting the home of good lighting
concepts and harmonious interior architecture.
CM: How would you describe your style? Do you have a
signature touch in the showroom?
DI: I love clear modern room designs, mixed with some
highlights. This could be, for example, a special way I style a
wall, or maybe great unique lamps or furniture pieces, together
with a good, atmospheric lighting concept. Our showroom has a
signature touch, as it is not like common showrooms, but in an
old stable, which I renovated, to bring in my personal note (as
described before) ... also to surprise clients, when they come to
our little village and don’t have too many expectations.
CM: Where do you draw your inspiration from when advising clients?
DI: To me, it always depends on what the clients’ want, so I need
to talk to them first, to find it out, concerning style, materials,
etc. And of course, how much money they are willing to spend.
The inspiration has got to subordinate then.
CM: What is your philosophy on work and life?
DI: Just be yourself ... and try to enjoy both.
CM: What do you love to do in your spare time? What are your hobbies?
DI: I nearly have no spare time, but I love to listen to music and
the good thing about my job is, that I can listen to music nearly
most of the day.
CM: What’s the hit song in your iPod/radio?
DI: I don’t have an iPod and don’t listen to the radio at all, as there’s
nothing interesting to hear for me ... I’m still listening to good old Vinyl-
LP’s and CD’s ... and hit songs, I’m afraid, I got too far to mention.
