Helmut Unterweger, everyone calls me Heli. Founder of Studio Ataraxia. I like taking things apart, reordering them and putting them back together with more clarity — brands, images, spaces or thoughts. I collect and connect what doesn't seem to belong together at first glance. What interests me is why something exists, how it works and what is truly essential about it.

Otherwise:

— Undefeated in the sumo ring of Kawasaki, Japan.

— Doing laundry: an underrated form of meditation.

— Small things often excite me more than big achievements.

— Longevity nerd. Convinced the best return is health.

— Good food, long conversations and philosophizing about life.
