In 2020 KONUNDRUM® was founded as a conceptual design studio in Frankfurt am Main, Germany by Central Saint Martins graduate Jan-Philipp Kosfeld. Today the firm, steered by Kosfeld and his partner Annika Langhammer, maintains an international network of freelancers, creatives and producers that collaboratively contribute to the
brand.

KONUNDRUM® is a Germanized modification of the English word 'conundrum'. It stands for a riddle or difficult question with no imminent answer, referring to the scope and complexity of the brands' design approach.
