The design duo CortoMagDelft consists of the two twin sisters Esther and Leah Wiesing. They come from Münster, Germany, where they founded their design start-up in 2020. After their bachelor’s degree in design, they both went on to study philosophy and design science at the University of Bamberg, Germany and at the University of Trieste, Italy. Since 2024 they are both enrolled PhD students. The two students pursue their design label CortoMagDelft, based in Münster, alongside their studies and commute between Münster, Bamberg and Italy.
