Born in Berlin in 1928, Stefan Wewerka was a German artist and designer whose work spanned art, design, and teaching. Raised in a family with a strong artistic tradition, he trained in architecture in post-war Berlin, where he engaged with a design culture attentive to space and social dimensions. In his work, Wewerka challenged the conventions of design and applied art, conceiving projects as a free, experimental practice open to the hybridization of languages.
