Working Student – Retail Experience & Retail Design (m/f/d) – Architecture, Interior Design & Visual Merchandising

Since the legend's reincarnation in 1994, A. Lange & Söhne has been one of the most respected and successful watch brands in the luxury sector. Our whole aim is to continue our tradition with new, outstanding products, very much in keeping with Lange's claim: State-of-the-art tradition. What we expect from our watches, we expect from us: Never stand still.

Do you view spaces not merely as physical structures, but as experiences? We blend innovative architecture, expressive interior design, innovative visual merchandising, and targeted R&D into unique spatial experiences. We are shaping the future of physical brand spaces—and we are looking for you to actively help shape the next generation of spatial design with your ideas, insights, and concepts.

Visual Merchandising & Staging: You will participate in developing creative display and window concepts as well as store layouts that tell stories and strengthen customer engagement.

Research & Development (R&D): You will research global design trends, sustainable materials, new technologies, and innovative retail and spatial strategies, presenting your findings concisely.
