Martin  Ballendat — the comprehensive solution  
               
          Martin  Ballendat, born in 1958, has already received over 30 prizes and awards for his  work.  
           
          After studying industrial design at the Folkwangschule university in  Essen, Germany, he worked as a designer for C. Stoll and then as product  developer for Wiesner Hager for whom he developed pioneering modular furniture  for the office of the communication age. 
            
          In 1995 he opened his own design  studio in Simbach am Inn, Bavaria, a choice which was heavily influenced by a  charming art nouveau villa and its central location with respect to his clients  in Germany, Austria and Italy. In recent years Ballendat has not only created  furniture, but also table accessories, lighting and technical devices.  
          Together  with his five-strong team he also offers CI consulting, graphic and media  design and a trade fair and exhibition service.  
           
          His design philosophy is as  comprehensive as his range of services: he looks for solutions which meet the  demands of both the manufacturer and the user.
