Oda: Oda is big. Oda is a reservoir of light. Oda is a huge floor lamp for the living room - next to your sofa or armchair. My aim was to create a volume or even balloon filled with light. The design is inspired by the amazing shots of water towers by German photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher. A simple and elegant metal structure balancing a tinted glass globe, mouth blown and available in three colors: opal, grey and amber.
Container: The Containers are made of silvered and tinted glass. You can use them like a vase or together with the lid like a vessel. This project is a result of the Glass is Tomorrow workshop 2012, and was picked up by Pulpo in 2013 for their new collection.
Designer
Sebastian Herkner was born in 1981 and embarked on an internship with Stella McCartney while a still a student of product design at Offenbach University of Art and Design. The experience honed his feeling for materials, colors, structures and textures as well as informed his focus on the merging of cultural contexts in the design, combining new technologies with traditional craftsmanship and a renewed attention to small details.
Since founding his own design studio in Offenbach am Main in 2006, he has designed products for manufacturers such as ClassiCon, Very Wood by Gervasoni, Moroso, Sancal, La Chance and Rosenthal, as well as contributed to interior design projects and for exhibitions and museums. Since 2007 he has taught several courses at HfG Offenbach am Main as visiting lecturer. His designs have received multiple prizes, including the 2011 German Design Award in the Newcomer category.
