Sebastian Herkner was born in 1981 in Bad Mergentheim. He studied
product design at the HfG Offenbach am Main (Offenbach University of Art
and Design), already focusing during his studies on designing objects
and furniture merging various cultural contexts, combining new
technologies with traditional craftsmanship in order to highlight the
multifaceted beauty of the materials and draw renewed attention to small
details. Whilst still a student, Herkner did an internship with Stella
McCartney in London, which helped to hone his feeling for materials,
colours, structures and textures.
