Coming from a vocational training as a bicycle mechanic, Damian Byland (*1991) increasingly engaged with design disciplines. At the F+F School for Art and Design in Zurich from 2013 to 2016, he specialized in the study of visual communication with a focus on photography. During and after this program, he worked as an assistant to the still life and architectural photographer Patrik Fuchs. Through his photographic exploration, his sense of composition, light, and the object sharpened. Following his interests and acquired knowledge, Byland pursued another course of study in product design at the University of Art and Design in Basel, which he completed in 2022. Byland designs objects with an industrial and production-oriented approach, where form and function achieve a harmonious balance. Studio Byland, based in Basel, undertakes projects in the field of industrial design from sketch to mass-production-ready product and offers commissioned photography in the field of architecture.
