Ulrike Rehm (1976), trained in a woodworkers' guild, later studied at the Rietveld Academy. She obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2006 and her Master's degree from the Sandberg Institute in 2011. Much knowledge has been lost in production and mass efficiency. Rehm hopes through her work that people will rediscover the value of materials. She achieves this by working with recognizable, almost domestic materials such as wood and soap. Intentionally, Rehm employs craft techniques that could be translated into an industrial process but chooses not to. She aims to do this without romanticizing the past as. However, she does use these techniques in her work to demonstrate that even in this era where everything seems to have been thought of and crystallized, new inventions can still be found. Crafting is seen as a form of self-determination and reclaiming time within a society primarily focused on efficiency. For this reason, virtually all her works are produced as a one-woman show.
