Artist and designer Rolf Sachs is the son of a German father and a French mother. He grew up in Switzerland and now lives in London with his Iranian-born wife Maryam and their three children. And he’s the creator of an exhibition at the Cologne Museum of Applied Art (MAKK) called "Typical German?" His artist search for a "typically German" mentality is a work "with German roots," as the 58-year-old says, yet it's still shaped by the distance provided by his multiculturally-influenced perspective.
