Knut majored in architecture before joining the Royal College of Art in London where he graduated with a masters degree. Knut has designed many period movies and shows such as the adaptation "COLD IS THE BREATH OF THE EVENING" (dir. Rainer Kaufmann) or the collaboration with the late Michael Pickwoad on "HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN" for HBO as well as sci-fi shows such as COUNTERPART (creator Justin Marks) . Currently working on a true-crime limited series about the death of King Ludwig II of Bavaria set in the 1880s, Knut moves around countries and continents wherever the filming takes place may it be South Africa, north Africa, Eastern Europe, United States, UK or any other European country. Knut loves to start working with locals and find the best possible environments. Creating and designing sceneries that incorporate real locations and interiors (or exteriors) built on stage are a passion.
