Some unspecified error has occurred.

Christof Ronge

February 27, 1963 - November 25, 2020

Our dear Christof has left us too soon and the loss is felt by so many. Christof had a huge impact on everyone who got to know him. His warmth, his empathy, his care, his professionalism, his passion for design and for collaborating with all the people around him. We who were lucky enough to work with Christof got the chance to see what an amazing man he was. May the memories of his wonderful personality and many contributions be celebrated by all.

    Dear Christof, I am deeply sad about this. All good memories on our collaboration, meetings, dinners flashed back. You are so passionate in design. You made us believed how design can change customers’ perception. Such values wasn’t really emphasized by the company in the past. I also enjoyed all our conversations and you were a great listener. You will always be remembered. I hope that your family, colleagues and friends will live on your values! Rebecca

    Dear Christof, I am glad that we met in person and for the conversations we had about the importance of industrial design for all industries. This picture of us, Will and Mikka was taken during a visit to the Milan Furniture Fair in 2015. It was so nice to see us together and have a picture from that moment! My thoughts go to your family. /Perla Munhoz

    Dear Christof - 24 January 2014, you joined our fantastic company with such joy, spirit & energy. I had the pleasure of interviewing you & being responsible for the setting up the group in Luxembourg which you joined. Your contribution has been fantastic over the years & the passion for your work was always present. You were one of these rare individuals who could combine art & science - you probably don't know what a unique individual you were... I am so sad to hear you have passed away, my last interaction with you was in September this year & you wrote me things were tough indeed. My thoughts are with your children & your wife whom you always talked of with such love & pride. You are now gone from our sight, but never from our hearts & your legacy will be seen for decades to come in all parts of the world in the product identity of different ASSA ABLOY products which carry the design you were part of establishing. Rest in peace now dear friend & one day we will meet again... /Samuel

    Christof was such a nice person, very charismatic motivated and welcoming. He united the group of industrial designers at ASSA Abloy in different parts of the globe like no one else could have done. Because of him we created a great goup, we developed a connection and we made great memories together. He definitely made an impact on me and the group. I am in Australia, and his absence will be felt here too. I am grateful to have met him, and to be part of this group that he created and which I hope to continue to be in tough with ongoing. I wish I could have told him in person, but he was a very positive influence for me and for my work through the times we got together. We lost a very good person and he will be missed. My deepest condolences and most affection to his family in this time.

    I really enjoyed working with Christof and our conversations together. The last I saw him in person was in Beijing for an intensive 3 days brand refresh workshop back in Aug 2018. RIP Christof.

    Dear Cristof, I am very sad to learn that you have left us way too early. It has been inspirational to work with you in your strive to join the scattered product world of ASSA ABLOY into a vision of belonging. A family with characteristics! Your heritage will be visible inside our company for years to follow. We have just embarked on our journey and our “joint baby”, H100, will have plenty of siblings to follow. I am grateful for learning to know you, your commitment, your vision and support. We wish you peace in your onwards journey with warm condolences to your near and loved ones.
