RACING ATELIER vol.1 From Germany

As a young boy, Leander Angerer was deeply in love with MTB racing together with his older brother. He was also looking for a workshop where he could freely concentrate on his creation process. At some point, Angerer and his brother started calling their workshop as “RACING ATELIER” which became the beginning of a place where various products came to life. It was in 2018 when Angerer launched “RACING ATELIER” as the brand of his original creation, Rucksack#1. In his workshop nestled in the Bavarian Alps in Germany, Angerer focuses on every step of his creation from design, development and production to create sturdy products of high quality. While being open to the changes of time, Angerer stays focused on his uniqueness without leaning too much on trends. He also uses locally produced materials to pursue his ideal originality.

Leander Angerer was born and raised in the Bavarian Alps. His father is an artist and his mother is a master in pottery. While spending time outdoors on his mountain bike, hiking or skiing, Angerer was deeply influenced by his parents which led him into the world of creation. As a student, he studied product design before moving on to Central Saint Martins (CSM) in London to complete a MA in this domain. It was at CSM where Angerer became interested in “design”. At CSM he came to understand his own path as a product designer especially through his project of examining the contrast between urban and rural life. Upon returning to Germany, Angerer worked as a hardware designer at a German outdoor-goods manufacturer before becoming independent as a freelance designer to establish “RACING ATELIER”.
