Sebastian Herkner

Born in Bad Mergentheim, Sebastian Herkner studied product design at the HfG Offenbach, where he founded his studio in 2006, drawing inspiration from original materials and techniques. Now one of the most important designers of his generation, he was named Designer of the Year at Maison et Objet Paris in 2019 and Best International Designer at the EDIDA awards in 2021.

His Bell Table for ClassiCon, from 2012, set a metal top on a hand-blown glass base and began his international recognition, joined by the Plissee Floor Lamp, whose pleated shade is in fact hand-blown glass.
