Prof. Kuno Prey
The designer Kuno Prey (1958) was Professor of Product Design at the Faculty of Art and Design at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar from 1993 to 2002. After his studies at the Domus Academy, his innate curiosity led him to explore innovative materials and new technologies together with industry. This collaboration resulted in numerous products through which Kuno Prey received international recognition. After his first intensive experience in design education in Weimar, he was drawn back to his native South Tyrol in 2002. There he founded the Faculty of Design and Art at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, which he headed as Dean until 2010. Today he works there as a professor for Product Design in research and teaching. Prey lives and works in Bozen-Bolzano, Neumarkt-Egna and Innichen-San Candido (Dolomites - South Tyrol).
