Sebastian Herkner

Sebastian Herkner was born in 1981 in Bad Mergentheim and moved to Offenbach am Main to study Product Design at Offenbach University of Art and Design. While already focusing on designing objects and furniture by merging various cultural contexts, Herkner combined new technologies with traditional craftsmanship. This was in order to highlight the multifaceted beauty of the materials and draw renewed attention to small details.

During his studies, Herkner did an internship with Stella McCartney in London and developed a particular liking for materials, colours, structures, textures and how they are connected to each other. Since founding his own design studio in Offenbach am Main in 2006, he has designed products for manufacturers such as Moroso, ClassiCon, Rosenthal, Very Wood and Pulpo, as well as working on interior design projects and for exhibitions and museums.
