Designer El Schmid is originally from Austria, where he was born in 1953. He started working with metal during his apprenticeship as a craftsman. In a second apprenticeship in Munich, he became familiar with materials such as brass, bronze, and silver, and later studied graphic design, in which he obtained a degree with honors in "Corporate Identity Design." Together with his partner in Munich, he founded Schmid & Stemmann in 1981. In his own master workshop, he dedicated 10 years to the creation of individual designer pieces, which influenced the Munich design scene during that period.
