Carlina Rethwilm (*1999, Berlin) is a designer studying product design at 
Bauhaus Universität Weimar and Pratt Institute New York. Her work mainly takes place in the mediums of clay and porcelain, where she works at the intersection of ancient craft and digital fabrication, exploring the ways in which we come together to eat (and play with) food. Her projects are rooted in an experimental and process-based design approach, embracing mishaps and unforeseen surprises.
