Overview

The Klee Chair is a beautiful and eye-catching creation by designer Sebastian Herkner for French design brand COEDITION, part of the Klee collection. Organic details segment the parts of the Klee series, giving them character and precision. These tables and chairs are carefully designed for everyday life.

As Guest of Honor to imm cologne 2016, Sebastian Herkner provided the design for “Das Haus”. Maison&Objet has elected him 2019 “Designer of the Year”. An unconditional love for traditional craftsmanship paired with a good feel for new technologies, a true flair for color, authentic materials and textures, an unadulterated curiosity for different cultures, for embracing and integrating them. “There is a sensitivity and identity to my work that emphasizes the function, the material and the detail. I transport and interpret characteristics from various contexts of society and culture and implement them in new artifacts. This character infuses the most everyday objects with respect and personality. In this manner, seemingly contrary things can experience esteem.“
