Marc Feldmann is a German computational designer whose practice merges technical precision with a passion for visual storytelling. He studied Industrial Design at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, specializing in membrane and shell technologies, and later pursued Production Design at the Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf.

Professionally, Feldmann has contributed to major film productions including La Belle et la Bête, The Monuments Men, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and 1899. His work has been recognized with the Carl Fieger Prize from the Bauhaus Foundation Dessau and the Red Dot Design Award in Singapore. Between 2019 and 2024, he lectured in Concept Art for Film at the Film University Babelsberg.

Feldmann’s design practice explores algorithmic surface design and digital fabrication, with a focus on the human body as a stage. His current research investigates tectonism and parametric design, producing experimental headpieces—Headshells—that blend natural morphologies, avant-garde millinery, and sustainable materials into wearable sculptural forms.

As a child, I was captivated by minerals and seashells, collecting them with devotion and listening for the ocean within their curves. This early fascination with organic structures continues to guide my practice.

Maritime Whispers emerges from a dialogue between memory and theory: seashells as a metaphor for tectonism, uniting growth, efficiency, and material articulation. My Headshells translate these natural morphologies into wearable sculptures, reinterpreting classical hat forms by breaking from tradition and expanding their vocabulary through parametric silhouettes and digital fabrication.

In doing so, the pieces pay homage to marine structures while exploring contemporary headwear as a form of body-architecture. Situated within Patrik Schumacher’s parametricist discourse and its tectonic orientation, my work bridges computational design with millinery traditions and avant-garde fashion. By merging sustainable materials, advanced fabrication technologies, and structural principles derived from nature, the Headshells become more than accessories: they are markers of identity, projecting new horizons for design at the intersection of code and craft.
