Let’s go check it out!

Aristo chair and Bell Dining table for ClassiCon
The ancient Greek word “áristos,” which means “the most excellent” or “the noblest,” is the source of the Aristo chair line, which combines comfort and style. Its unique backrest is framed by curved tubular steel and has upholstery on both sides. The double-upholstered seat offers inviting comfort for laid-back evenings thanks to the eye-catching shadow gap between the base and cushion. Launched in 2012, the Bell Dining Table is a contemporary classic with a marble base that elevates the Bell Tables’ elegance to new heights.

MDear lounge collection for Dedon
Dedon presents MDEAR, a modular collection of loungewear that emphasizes flexibility, fluidity, and sensory enjoyment. For more expansive seating arrangements, MDEAR’s five organic shapes can be combined. Taking its name from the word “endear,” it continues Dedon’s tradition of producing top-selling items like MBRACE and LOON. MDEAR draws inspiration from organic islands for outdoor areas that are modular enough to be combined into a variety of shapes.

Kwado chair for Cappellini
This project was started by Sebastian Herkner before the pandemic. Like a donut perched atop a cone, the concept was the meeting point of two components. In this instance, the seat itself is a component of the base frame; the softly padded shell merely serves to form the armrest and backrest. The Kwado lounge chair for Cappellini is the result of combining the two components.

Beletage for Wittmann
The best apartments are always found on the Beletage when strolling through Berlin or Vienna. Wittmann’s new sofa honors this area of the city and its residents. Its roomy and cozy design honors life and the adaptability of its occupants. Numerous compositions are possible with the modular approach.

Ballet for Punt
Inspired by music boxes, Sebastian Herkner created Ballet, a revolving shelf. Different viewpoints and insights are made possible by a turning point. The Spanish brand Punt’s Ballet shelf spins like a ballerina thanks to this creative idea. The item is a special storage space for displaying or concealing cherished items; some directions are open, while others are closed.

Gaira lounge chair for Ames
Sebastian Herkner and Ames collaborated for nearly a decade to create a lounge chair that combines the vibrant colors of Colombian culture with the warmth of wood. The Gaira lounge chair is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its striking weave complements the graphic wooden structure, giving the design a textile-like quality.

Orbit shelf for Linteloo
Sebastian Herkner was hired by Jan Linteloo to create a vertical tower for objects and plants. A spiral staircase with plateaus at each level is displayed on the Orbit shelf. With a hand-shaped surface emphasizing craftsmanship and material aesthetics, the cast structure complements Gentle and Charles designs.

Blume sideboard for Pedrali
A recent addition to Pedrali’s collection, the Blume sideboard has an extruded aluminum profile shaped like a flower. A marble tabletop adds a bit of materiality, and the wooden sideboard floats on a thin structure. This multipurpose furniture can be used to divide or define spaces in addition to providing storage. It has a top with different finishes, four curved plywood doors, and extruded aluminum legs. It has two shelves inside.

Fern aluminium for Gloster
Inspired by the fronds of fern leaves, Sebastian Herkner’s Fern collection for Gloster features an aluminum base and a teak structure. The Scandinavian-style teak frame complements the collection’s contours, highlighting its versatility and sustainability. Additionally, the enveloping backrest provides both comfort and support.
