"The ambassador of the design provocateur Luigi Colani: Hellen Westerhof is an internationally renowned designer and advises international clients from various industries.
Luigi Colani: The inventor of rounded biodesign:
Hellen Westerhof is Luigi Colani's last master student and, like him, has a passion for everything that can be designed. She also passes on his design philosophy to students as a university lecturer.
Active as a designer worldwide alongside Colani:
Westerhof knew the now-deceased designer for 15 years and worked by his side. She accompanied him to China, where she served as his creative director. Colani was celebrated in China, his master student recalls, as a personality like him was revered as a master there.
Hellen Westerhof—shaped by the artistic loudmouth and design provocateur Luigi Colani: Now, she continues his legacy while also successfully forging her own path."
