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.

post digital pole goddess is a collaborative design sprint aiming to familiarize students with Fusion360 aided CNC-milling. A reclaimed oak beam was divided into eight parts, each part to be designed by a team of two students. The only design constraint was that the individual sections had to transition seamlessly.
Linus Enzmann’s and Carlina’s section was inspired by Oskar Schlemmer and the intersection of human and technology - a human head confined within a cube looking out into the world.
